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
