Secure boot page is missing AM62L specific documentation. Due to very large difference with other SoCs in the boot flow, this contains many differences in documentation as well. This commit adds any AM62L specific information in the Secure Boot section, and adds it to its TOC. Signed-off-by: T Pratham <t-pratham@ti.com>
Changes the indentation to 3 spaces, adds :file: and :code: directive to appropriate places, and wrap long lines to 80 characters. While here, also update the name "U-Boot" to have a consistent case everywhere, and update ATF to TF-A. Signed-off-by: T Pratham <t-pratham@ti.com>
Add a new page in the U-Boot user guide documenting secure boot enablement using U-Boot's verified boot framework in AM62LX. For AM62LX, u-boot.img signing and verification has been moved to leverage the mechanisms provided in U-Boot from using HSM core in other K3 devices. This page aims to address this change in AM62LX.
