You're thinking way ahead of where I am. I know how to build a board, 
but I've never used the test infrastructure. After some fumbling, I 
figured I'd try sandbox_spl:

	$ test/py/test.py -B sandbox_spl --bd sandbox_spl --build

As you can imagine, it kept complaining about SDL. I've never used 
environment variables with Kbuild, so using NO_SPL=1 seems unnatural. 
But then why would we need SDL for testing an SPL build anyway? 'swig' 
was missing too, but that was an easy fix.

Second try:

	$ NO_SDL=1 test/py/test.py -B sandbox_spl --bd sandbox_spl \
		--build

Went a bit better, but " 29 failed, 502 passed, 212 skipped". Is this 
normal?

What I seem to be missing is how to connect this python to calling 
spl_load_simple_fit(). In the real world, I'd build u-boot and feed it a 
FIT image -- boots, okay.
