+J784S4 and AM69 Platforms
+=========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+The J784S4 SoC belongs to the K3 Multicore SoC architecture
+platform, providing advanced system integration in automotive,
+ADAS and industrial applications requiring AI at the network edge.
+This SoC extends the K3 Jacinto 7 family of SoCs with focus on
+raising performance and integration while providing interfaces,
+memory architecture and compute performance for multi-sensor, high
+concurrency applications.
+
+The device is partitioned into three functional domains, each containing
+specific processing cores and peripherals:
+
+1. Wake-up (WKUP) domain
+ * ARM Cortex-M4F processor, runs TI Foundational Security (TIFS)
+
+2. Microcontroller (MCU) domain
+ * Dual core ARM Cortex-R5F processor, runs device management
+ and SoC early boot
+
+3. MAIN domain
+ * Two clusters of quad core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72, runs HLOS
+ * Dual core ARM Cortex-R5F processor used for RTOS applications
+ * Four C7x DSPs used for Machine Learning applications.
+

+Boot Flow
+---------
+Below is the pictorial representation of boot flow:
+
+.. image:: img/boot_diagram_k3_current.svg
+ :alt: K3 boot flow
+
+- On this platform, "TI Foundational Security" (TIFS) functions as the
+ security enclave master. While "Device Manager" (DM), also known as the
+ "TISCI server" in TI terminology, offers all the essential services.
+
+- As illustrated in the diagram above, R5 SPL manages power and clock
+ services independently before handing over control to DM. The A72 or
+ the C7x (Aux core) software components request TIFS/DM to handle
+ security or device management services.

+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.

+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.
+
+Boot Mode Pins for J784S4-EVM

+
+The following tables show some common boot modes used on J784S4 EVM platform.
+More details can be found in the Technical Reference Manual:

+Debugging U-Boot
+----------------
+
+See :ref:`Common Debugging environment - OpenOCD<k3_rst_refer_openocd>`: for
+detailed setup information.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ **OpenOCD support since**: September 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>`_.
+
+Debugging U-Boot on J784S4-EVM and AM69-SK
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. 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 J784S4-EVM or AM69-SK board, use the
+following.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ openocd -f board/ti_j784s4evm.cfg
