I'm not clear what you want the final binary names to be. I seem to be missing
segments of this discussion - maybe not CC'd on all threads?
With Tegra, if you flash u-boot.bin, you'll get a DT-less, non-functional
binary that will print a 'DT missing!' message and reset ad infinitum. Most
folks won't see or care about u-boot-spl.bin, since it's hidden in the spl/
subdir. I don't see the use of having a 'u-boot-with-spl.bin' - doesn't
u-boot-spl.bin say the same thing?
u-boot-spl.bin is just the SPL. u-boot-with-spl.bin is SPL plus u-boot.
Or maybe the former could just become spl.bin, and then u-boot-spl.bin could
mean the latter? There's really no reason to put "u-boot" in the name of every
intermediate file that represents something more specific.
So, before I resubmit my patch, can you please tell me what should be the name for
the file with SPL plus u-boot;
1) u-boot-with-spl.bin
2) u-boot-spl.bin (and rename the SPL only file to 'spl.bin')
3) ???
If you flash u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin, you'll get a fully functioning U-Boot.
There's an intermediate file (u-boot-dtb.bin) that I assume is u-boot.bin+dtb -
I'm not sure why it's left around - Allen could comment here.
It's useful to leave intermediate files around for debugging.
So in my eyes, all you really need is u-boot-dtb-tegra.bin - an unwieldy name,
to be sure, but it seems to satisfy your request for a Soc identifier in the name.
If the only thing Tegra-specific about the output format is that it has a dtb
bundled, I think it should have a more generic name, as other targets could end
up using a dtb as well.
Best regards,
José Gonçalves
