current glossary entry for SPL_BINARY is out of date

[Robert P. J. Day]

  here:

https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-SPL_BINARY

the alleged snippet of code from u-boot.inc no longer exists in that
file; the code is noticeably more complicated, if someone who
understands that stuff wants to update that glossary entry.

Thanks for reporting this! Good catch!

Indeed, the definitions have moved to meta/classes/uboot-config.bbclass,
and an example overwriting the default value can be found in
meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/beaglebone-yocto.conf

I'll try to propose an update. Thanks again!

Michael.

Please stop looking into those www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest links,
you should use https://docs.yoctoproject.org instead. The link you point
to has stopped to be updated since 3.1.5 release IIRC.

(Not saying your remark does not apply, just that to avoid future alerts
and prevent you to do some work that's already been done it might make
sense to look at actual latest version of the docs.

Cheers,
Quentin
