[PATCH v2 2/2] doc: rockchip: Update and improve info on rk3308, TPL and TF-A

Sat Sep 9 11:33:33 CEST 2023


Update and improve documentation about build steps for SoCs that
require using TF-A and TPL binaries provided by Rockchip, such as
rk3308. Add rk3308 boards case to rST document. Add ROCK Pi S in
the list of supported boards. Minor page format improvements.
