Hi.


Please forgive me if I am asking a silly newbie question.

I have some knowledge of U-Boot
but I have just started digging into barebox.


My simple question is, something like SPL
(secondary program loader) in U-boot is covered by barebox?



I assume the following steps
for running Linux on our boards by booting from NAND device.


[1] BootROM (hard-wired)

[2] Tiny boot program
    for initializing SDRAM, etc.

[3] High-level boot loader
    for loading the kernel, handling device tree etc.

[4] Linux



I guess [3] is covered by barebox.

Is [2] supported by barebox? Or is it like Do-It-Yourself thing?


Best Regards
Masahiro Yamada
