+AM62A Platforms
+===============
+
+Introduction:
+-------------
+The AM62A SoC family is built on the K3 Multicore SoC architecture platform,
+providing a deep learning accelerator, multi-camera support with ISP, video
+transcoder and other BOM-saving integrations.
+The AM62A SoC enables cost-sensitive automotive applications including driver
+and in-cabin monitoring systems, next generation of eMirror system, as well as
+a broad set of industrial applications in Factory Automation, Building
+Automation, Robotics and more.
+
+Some highlights of this SoC are:
+
+* Quad-Cortex-A53s (running up to 1.4GHz) in a single cluster.
+* Cortex-R5F for general-purpose or safety usage.
+* Deep Learning Accelerator with Single-core C7x Vector DSP with MMA (up to
+ 1.0GHz).
+* Vision Processing Accelerator (VPAC) with a 315MPixel/s ISP (up to 5MP @
+ 60fps) supporting 16-bit RAW input with RGB-IR separation.
+* 4K Video encoder and decoder for HEVC (Level 5.1 High-tier) and H.264 (Level
+ 5.2) supporting upto 240MPixels/s and MJPEG encoder at 416MPixels/s
+* Single display with 24-bit RGB parallel (DPI) interface supporting upto
+ 165Mhz pixel clock for 2K resolution.
+* Integrated Giga-bit Ethernet switch supporting up to a total of two
+ external ports (TSN capable).
+* 9xUARTs, 5xSPI, 6xI2C, 2xUSB2, 3xCAN-FD, 3x eMMC and SD, GPMC for
+ NAND/FPGA connection, OSPI memory controller, 3xMcASP for audio,
+ 1x CSI-RX-4L for Camera, eCAP/eQEP, ePWM, among other peripherals.
+* Dedicated Centralized System Controller for Security, Power, and
+ Resource Management.
+* Multiple low power modes support, ex: Deep sleep, Standby, MCU-only,
+ enabling battery powered system design.

+Boot Flow:
+----------
+Below is the pictorial representation of boot flow:

+- Here TIFS acts as master and provides all the critical services. R5/A53
+ requests TIFS to get these services done as shown in the above diagram.

+Target Images
+--------------
+In order to boot we need tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin and u-boot.img. Each SoC
+variant (GP, HS-FS, HS-SE) requires a different source for these files.
+
+ - GP
+
+ * tiboot3-am62ax-gp-evm.bin from step 3.1
+ * tispl.bin_unsigned, u-boot.img_unsigned from step 3.2
+
+ - HS-FS
+
+ * tiboot3-am62ax-hs-fs-evm.bin from step 3.1
+ * tispl.bin, u-boot.img from step 3.2
+
+ - HS-SE
+
+ * tiboot3-am62ax-hs-evm.bin from step 3.1
+ * tispl.bin, u-boot.img from step 3.2
+
+Image formats:
+--------------
+
+- tiboot3.bin
+
+.. image:: img/multi_cert_tiboot3.bin.svg

+
+Switch Setting for Boot Mode
+----------------------------
+
+Boot Mode pins provide means to select the boot mode and options before the
+device is powered up. After every POR, they are the main source to populate
+the Boot Parameter Tables.
+
+The following table shows some common boot modes used on AM62 platform. More
+details can be found in the Technical Reference Manual:
+https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruj16 under the `Boot Mode Pins` section.
+
+.. list-table:: Boot Modes
+ :widths: 16 16 16
+ :header-rows: 1
+
+ * - Switch Label
+ - SW2: 12345678
+ - SW3: 12345678
+
+ * - SD
+ - 01000000
+ - 11000010

+ - 11011100
+
+ * - USB DFU
+ - 00000000
+ - 11001010
+
+For SW2 and SW1, the switch state in the "ON" position = 1.

+Debugging U-Boot
+----------------
+
+See :ref:`Common Debugging environment - OpenOCD<k3_rst_refer_openocd>`: for
+detailed setup information.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ **OpenOCD support since**: August 2023 (git master)
+
+ Until the next stable release of OpenOCD is available in your development
+ environment's distribution, it might be necessary to build OpenOCD `from the
+ source <https://github.com/openocd-org/openocd>`_.
+
+.. include:: k3.rst
+ :start-after: .. k3_rst_include_start_openocd_connect_XDS110
+ :end-before: .. k3_rst_include_end_openocd_connect_XDS110
+
+To start OpenOCD and connect to the board
+
+.. code-block:: bash
