+J721S2 and AM68 Platforms
+=========================
+
+Introduction:
+-------------
+The J721S2 family of SoCs are part of K3 Multicore SoC architecture platform
+targeting automotive applications. They are designed as a low power, high
+performance and highly integrated device architecture, adding significant
+enhancement on processing power, graphics capability, video and imaging
+processing, virtualization and coherent memory support.
+
+The AM68 Starter Kit/Evaluation Module (EVM) is based on the J721S2 family
+of SoCs. They are designed for machine vision, traffic monitoring, retail
+automation, and factory automation.
+
+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:
+ * Dual core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72, runs HLOS
+
+More info can be found in TRM: https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruj28

+Boot Flow:
+----------
+Below is the pictorial representation of boot flow:
+
+.. image:: img/boot_diagram_k3_current.svg
+
+- 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.

+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.

+See :ref:`Common Debugging environment - OpenOCD<k3_rst_refer_openocd>`: for
+detailed setup information.
+
+.. warning::
+
+ **OpenOCD support since**: v0.12.0
+
+ If the default package version of OpenOCD in your development
+ environment's distribution needs to be updated, it might be necessary to
+ build OpenOCD from the source.
