What are your problems exactly with SPL? What version of chiliSOM does
you board have? Mainline u-boot with SPL runs successfully on
chiliboard 1.1 (containing chiliSOM 2.2).

See output of commands issued on u-boot 2018.03:

=> usb start
starting USB...
USB0:   scanning bus 0 for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found
        scanning usb for storage devices... Device NOT ready
    Request Sense returned 02 3A 00
Device NOT ready
    Request Sense returned 02 3A 00
Device NOT ready
    Request Sense returned 02 3A 00
Device NOT ready
    Request Sense returned 02 3A 00
0 Storage Device(s) found
=> usb stop
stopping USB..
=> usb start
starting USB...
USB0:   scanning bus 0 for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found
        scanning usb for storage devices... Device NOT ready
    Request Sense returned 02 3A 00
Device NOT ready
    Request Sense returned 02 3A 00
Device NOT ready
    Request Sense returned 02 3A 00
Device NOT ready
    Request Sense returned 02 3A 00
0 Storage Device(s) found

Did you try to connect other USB devices? Is that issue connected
USB device dependent?

Marcin
