+Generic TPL framework
+=====================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+Due to the SPL on some boards(powerpc mpc85xx) has a size limit and cannot
+be compatible with all the external device(e.g. DDR). So add a tertiary
+program loader (TPL) to enable a loader stub that runs in the L2 SRAM,
+after being loaded by the code from the SPL. It loads the final uboot image
+into DDR, then jump to it to begin execution. Now, only the powerpc mpc85xx
+has this requirement and will implemente it.
+
+Keep consistent with SPL, with this framework almost all source files for a
+board can be reused. No code duplication or symlinking is necessary anymore.
+
+How it works
+------------
+
+There is a new directory TOPDIR/tpl which contains only a Makefile.
+The object files are built separately for TPL and placed in this directory.
+The final binaries which are generated are u-boot-tpl, u-boot-tpl.bin and
+u-boot-tpl.map.
+
+During the TPL build a variable named CONFIG_TPL_BUILD is exported
+in the make environment and also appended to CPPFLAGS with -DCONFIG_TPL_BUILD.
+Source files can therefore be compiled for TPL with different settings.
+
+For example:
+
+ifeq ($(CONFIG_TPL_BUILD),y)
+COBJS-y += board_tpl.o
+else
+COBJS-y += board.o
+endif
+
+COBJS-$(CONFIG_TPL_BUILD) += foo.o
+
+#ifdef CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
+	foo();
+#endif
+
+
+The building of TPL images can be with:
+
+#define CONFIG_TPL
+
+Because TPL images normally have a different text base, one has to be
+configured by defining CONFIG_TPL_TEXT_BASE. The linker script has to be
+defined with CONFIG_TPL_LDSCRIPT.
+
+To support generic U-Boot libraries and drivers in the TPL binary one can
+optionally define CONFIG_SYS_XXX_SUPPORT. Currently following options
+are supported:
+
+CONFIG_SYS_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT (common/libcommon.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_LIBDISK_SUPPORT (disk/libdisk.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SUPPORT (drivers/i2c/libi2c.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_GPIO_SUPPORT (drivers/gpio/libgpio.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_MMC_SUPPORT (drivers/mmc/libmmc.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_SERIAL_SUPPORT (drivers/serial/libserial.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT (drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_SPI_SUPPORT (drivers/spi/libspi.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_FAT_SUPPORT (fs/fat/libfat.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT (lib/libgeneric.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_POWER_SUPPORT (drivers/power/libpower.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_NAND_SUPPORT (drivers/mtd/nand/libnand.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_DMA_SUPPORT (drivers/dma/libdma.o)
+CONFIG_SYS_POST_MEM_SUPPORT (post/drivers/memory.o)
