+AM62Px Platforms
+================
+
+The AM62Px is an extension of the existing Sitara AM62x low-cost family
+of application processors built for Automotive and Linux Application
+development. Scalable Arm Cortex-A53 performance and embedded features,
+such as: multi high-definition display support, 3D-graphics
+acceleration, 4K video acceleration, and extensive peripherals make the
+AM62Px well-suited for a broad range of automation and industrial
+application, including automotive digital instrumentation, automotive
+displays, industrial HMI, and more.
+
+Some highlights of AM62P SoC are:
+
+* Quad-Cortex-A53s (running up to 1.4GHz) in a single cluster.
+  Dual/Single core variants are provided in the same package to allow HW
+  compatible designs.
+
+* One Device manager Cortex-R5F for system power and resource
+  management, and one Cortex-R5F for Functional Safety or
+  general-purpose usage.
+
+* One 3D GPU up to 50 GLFOPS
+
+* H.264/H.265 Video Encode/Decode.
+
+* Display support: 3x display support over OLDI/LVDS (1x OLDI-DL, 1x or
+  2x OLDI-SL), DSI, or DPI. Up to 3840x1080 @ 60fps resolution
+
+* Integrated Giga-bit Ethernet switch supporting up to a total of two
+  external ports (TSN capable).
+
+* 9xUARTs, 5xSPI, 6xI2C, 2xUSB2, 3xCAN-FD, 3xMMC and SD, GPMC for
+  NAND/FPGA connection, OSPI memory controller, 3xMcASP for audio,
+  1xCSI-RX-4L for Camera, eCAP/eQEP, ePWM, among other peripherals.
+
+* Dedicated Centralized Hardware Security Module with support for secure
+  boot, debug security and crypto acceleration and trusted execution
+  environment.
+
+* One 32-bit DDR Subsystem that supports LPDDR4, DDR4 memory types.
+
+* Multiple low power modes support, ex: Deep sleep, Standby, MCU-only,
+  enabling battery powered system design.
+
+For those interested, more details about this SoC can be found in the
+Technical Reference Manual here: https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruj83
+
+Boot Flow:
+----------
+
+The bootflow is exactly the same as all SoCs in the am62xxx extended SoC
+family. Below is the pictorial representation:
+
+.. image:: img/boot_diagram_k3_current.svg
+  :alt: Boot flow diagram
+
+- Here TIFS acts as master and provides all the critical services. R5/A53
+  requests TIFS to get these services done as shown in the above diagram.

+Target Images
+--------------
+
+In order to boot we need tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin and u-boot.img.  Each SoC
+variant (HS-FS, HS-SE) requires a different source for these files.
+
+ - HS-FS
+
+        * tiboot3-am62px-hs-fs-evm.bin from step 3.1
+        * tispl.bin, u-boot.img from step 3.2
+
+ - HS-SE
+
+        * tiboot3-am62px-hs-evm.bin from step 3.1
+        * tispl.bin, u-boot.img from step 3.2
+
+Image formats:

+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.
+
+The following table shows some common boot modes used on AM62Px
+platforms. More details can be found in the Technical Reference Manual:
+https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruj83 under the `Boot Mode Pins` section.
+
+.. note::
+
+   This device is very new. Currently only UART boot is available while
+   we continue to add support for the other bootmodes.
+
+.. list-table:: Boot Modes
+   :widths: 16 16 16
+   :header-rows: 1
+
+   * - Switch Label
+     - SW2: 12345678
+     - SW3: 12345678
+
+   * - SD

+
+   * - USB DFU
+     - 00000000
+     - 11001010
+
+For SW2 and SW1, the switch state in the "ON" position = 1.
+
+Debugging U-Boot
+----------------
+
+See :ref:`Common Debugging environment - OpenOCD<k3_rst_refer_openocd>`: for
+detailed setup information.
+
+.. warning::
+
+  **OpenOCD support after**: v0.12.0
+
+  While support for the entire K3 generation including the am62xxx
+  extended family was added before v0.12.0, the tcl scripts for the
+  am62px have been accepted and will be available in the next release of
+  OpenOCD. It may be necessary to build OpenOCD from source depending on
+  the version your distribution has packaged.
+
+.. 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 the board
+
+.. code-block:: bash
