+phyCORE-AM62Ax
+==============
+
+The `phyCORE-AM62Ax <https://www.phytec.com/product/phycore-am62a>`_ is a
+SoM (System on Module) featuring TI's AM62Ax SoC. It can be used in combination
+with different carrier boards. This module can come with different sizes and
+models for DDR, eMMC, SPI NOR Flash and various SoCs from the AM62Ax family.
+
+A development Kit, called `phyBOARD-Lyra <https://www.phytec.com/product/phyboard-am62x>`_
+is used as a carrier board reference design around the AM62Ax SoM.
+
+Quickstart
+----------
+
+* Download sources and TI firmware blobs
+* Build Trusted Firmware-A
+* Build OP-TEE
+* Build U-Boot for the R5
+* Build U-Boot for the A53
+* Create bootable uSD Card
+* Boot
+

+
+Set the variables corresponding to this platform:

+    :end-before: .. k3_rst_include_end_common_env_vars_defn

+    :end-before: .. k3_rst_include_end_build_steps_uboot
+
+uSD Card creation
+-----------------
+
+Use fdisk to partition the uSD card. The layout should look similar to:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ sudo fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0
+ Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 15 GB, 15913189376 bytes, 31080448 sectors
+ 242816 cylinders, 4 heads, 32 sectors/track
+ Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
+
+ Device       Boot StartCHS    EndCHS        StartLBA     EndLBA    Sectors  Size Id Type
+ /dev/mmcblk0p1 *  128,0,1     1023,3,32        16384     278527     262144  128M  c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
+ /dev/mmcblk0p2    1023,3,32   1023,3,32       278528    1693883    1415356  691M 83 Linux
+
+
+Once partitioned, the boot partition has to be formatted with a FAT filesystem.
+Assuming the uSD card is `/dev/mmcblk0`:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
+
+To boot from a micro SD card on a HSFS device simply copy the following
+artifacts to the FAT partition:
+
+* tiboot3.bin from R5 build
+* tispl.bin from Cortex-A build
+* u-boot.img from Cortex-A build
+
+Boot
+----
+
+Put the uSD card in the slot on the board and apply power. Check the serial
+console for output.
+
+UART based boot
+---------------
+
+To boot the board via UART, set the switches to UART mode and connect to the
+micro USB port labeled as "Debug UART". After power-on the build artifacts
+needs to be uploaded one by one with a tool like sz.
+
+Example bash script sequence for running on a Linux host PC feeding all boot
+artifacts needed to the device. Assuming the host uses /dev/ttyUSB0 as
+the main domain serial port:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+  stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
+  sb --xmodem tiboot3.bin > /dev/ttyUSB0 < /dev/ttyUSB0
+  sb --ymodem tispl.bin > /dev/ttyUSB0 < /dev/ttyUSB0
+  sb --ymodem u-boot.img > /dev/ttyUSB0 < /dev/ttyUSB0
+
+Boot Modes
+----------
+
+The phyCORE-AM62x development kit supports booting from many different
+interfaces. By default, the development kit is set to boot from the micro-SD
+card. To change the boot device, DIP switches S5 and S6 can be used.
+Boot switches should be changed with power off.
