+    This is the U-Boot SPL (Secondary Program Loader) binary. This is a small
+    binary which loads before U-Boot proper, typically into on-chip SRAM. It is
+    responsible for locating, loading and jumping to U-Boot. Note that SPL is
+    not relocatable so must be loaded to the correct address in SRAM, or written
+    to run from the correct address if direct flash execution is possible (e.g.
+    on x86 devices).
+
+    SPL can access binman symbols at runtime. See:
+
+        'Access to binman entry offsets at run time (symbols)'
+
+    in the binman README for more information.
+
+    The ELF file 'spl/u-boot-spl' must also be available for this to work, since
+    binman uses that to look up symbols to write into the SPL binary.
