This will be confusing to a rookie. Please refer to sandbox_vpl_defconfig.

Please provide the full instructions:

make sandbox_vpl_defconfig
make
tpl/u-boot-tpl -d u-boot.dtb

> +   /path/to/sandbox_vpl/tpl/u-boot-tpl -d /tmp/b/sandbox_vpl/u-boot.dtb

Do we really use /tmp? We should place all build artifacts in the build
directory instead.

I could not find any directory called sandbox_vpl in my /tmp directory.

I could not make the example work:

$ make sandbox_vpl_defconfig
$ make
$ tpl/u-boot-tpl -d u-boot.dtb

U-Boot TPL 2024.01-rc2-00002-g66024fa8d5 (Nov 13 2023 - 01:09:03 +0100)
Trying to boot from sandbox_image
Trying to boot from sandbox_file
(tpl/u-boot-vpl not found, error -2)
TPL: failed to boot from all boot devices
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

u-boot-vpl is not in tpl/ but in vpl/.
The VPL example seems to need rework.
