Hi rdb9878
Thanks Jeetesh for providing the links.
You could refer to the links by Jeetesh on helping you with the baremetal application creation.
"Keeping the SPL" means that we will follow the flow of having at least the SPL to do the board initialization procedure.
From my understanding that you would like to only run your baremetal application on the board. I would not recommend that route.
If you refer to the baremetal guide https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683211/current/bare-metal-overview.html
The SPL is always present to do the board initialization procedure.
