Hi,


Yes, preloader-mkimage.bin is generated from u-boot-spl file.

For .axf to .bin you can use mkimage utility or

In eclipse, the post-build steps (under Build Steps tab in the C/C++ Build Settings):

fromelf --bincombined ${ProjName}.axf --output=${ProjName}.bin


Please find below link to compile the SPL and preloader for baremetal application.

We also have AN709, where it is explain for booting from SD card-Custom partition & FAT partition.


Let me know if you have any query on this.


Regards

Tiwari
