The base include for u-boot defines the SPL_IMAGE and SPL_SYMLINK http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot.inc One example of use of SPL_BINARY is here: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-ti/tree/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot_2011.12.bb So the SPL_BINARY defines the name of the file in the filesystem image. The SPL_IMAGE and SPL_SYMLINK appear to specific the long version specific image file produced by the build and the somewhat shorter symlink that points to it. These will be in a machine specific dir on the build machine; the same place the kernel is found. (The kernel also gets a very long name and a symlink you can reuse wording from the description if you have that already.)
