+Beagleboard.org Beagleplay
+==========================
+
+Introduction:
+-------------
+
+BeagleBoard.org BeaglePlay is an easy to use, affordable open source
+hardware single board computer based on the Texas Instruments AM625
+SoC that allows you to create connected devices that work even at long
+distances using IEEE 802.15.4g LR-WPAN and IEEE 802.3cg 10Base-T1L.
+Expansion is provided over open standards based mikroBUS, Grove and
+QWIIC headers among other interfaces.
+
+Further information can be found at:
+https://beagleplay.org/
+https://git.beagleboard.org/beagleplay/beagleplay
+
+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.
+  The A53/M4F (Aux core) sends requests to TIFS/DM to accomplish these
+  services, as illustrated in the diagram above.
+
+Sources:
+--------

+    :end-before: .. k3_rst_include_end_boot_sources
+
+Build procedure:
+----------------
+0. Setup the environment variables:
+
+.. include::  k3.rst
+    :start-after: .. k3_rst_include_start_common_env_vars_desc
+    :end-before: .. k3_rst_include_end_common_env_vars_desc

+
+Target Images
+--------------
+Copy the below images to an SD card and boot:
+
+* tiboot3-am62x-gp-evm.bin from R5 build as tiboot3.bin
+* tispl.bin_unsigned from Cortex-A build as tispl.bin
+* u-boot.img_unsigned from Cortex-A build as uboot.img
+
+Image formats:
+--------------
+
+- tiboot3.bin
+
+.. image:: img/multi_cert_tiboot3.bin.svg
+
+- tispl.bin
+
+.. image:: img/dm_tispl.bin.svg
+
+A53 SPL DDR Memory Layout
+-------------------------
+
+.. include::  am62x_sk.rst
+    :start-after: .. am62x_evm_rst_include_start_ddr_mem_layout
+    :end-before: .. am62x_evm_rst_include_end_ddr_mem_layout
+
+Switch Setting for Boot Mode
+----------------------------
+
+The boot time option is configured via "USR" button on the board.
+See https://git.beagleboard.org/beagleplay/beagleplay/-/blob/main/BeaglePlay_sch.pdf
+for details.
+
+.. list-table:: Boot Modes
+   :widths: 16 16 16
+   :header-rows: 1
+
+   * - USR Switch Position
+     - Primary Boot
+     - Secondary Boot
+
+   * - Not Pressed
+     - eMMC
+     - UART
+
+   * - Pressed
+     - SD/MMC File System (FS) mode
+     - USB Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) mode
+
+To switch to SD card boot mode, hold the USR button while powering on
+with Type-C power supply, then release when power LED lights up.
