nitpick: Can't this be grouped in the same .. note:: block as for AM69
defconfigs ?

I tend to dislike multiple notes blocks one after another.
It is fine if you don't want to change this as it's a "personal preference".

Can't this note be in the - GP section?
Just after:
"""
    * tispl.bin_unsigned, u-boot.img_unsigned from :ref:`step 3.2 <j784s4_evm_rst_u_boot_a72>`
"""

In my opinion, it would make more sense than at the end of the
Target Images section.
