> A typical boot flow would be:
> 1. Parse the Bootloader Control Block (BCB, misc partition)
> 2. If BCB requested bootonce-bootloader, start fastboot and wait.
> 3. If BCB requested recovery or normal android, run the following:
>     a. Get slot (A/B) from BCB
>     b. Run AVB (Android Verified Boot) on boot partitions
>     c. Load boot and vendor_boot partitions
>     d. Load device-tree, ramdisk and boot

> The AOSP documentation has more details at [1], [2], [3]
>
> This has been implemented via complex boot scripts such as [4].
> However, these boot script are neither very maintainable nor generic.
> Moreover, DISTRO_DEFAULTS is being deprecated [5].
>
> Add a generic Android bootflow implementation for bootstd.
>
> For this initial version, only boot image v4 is supported.

> This has been tested on sandbox using:
> $ ./test/py/test.py --bd sandbox --build -k test_ut

> This has also been tested on the AM62X SK EVM using TI's Android SDK[6]
> To test on TI board, the following (WIP) patch is needed as well:
