   1 Introduction:
   2 -------------
   3 The J721e family of SoCs are part of K3 Multicore SoC architecture platform
   4 targeting automotive applications. They are designed as a low power, high
   5 performance and highly integrated device architecture, adding significant
   6 enhancement on processing power, graphics capability, video and imaging
   7 processing, virtualization and coherent memory support.
   8
   9 The device is partitioned into three functional domains, each containing
  10 specific processing cores and peripherals:
  11 1. Wake-up (WKUP) domain:
  12         - Device Management and Security Controller (DMSC)
  13 2. Microcontroller (MCU) domain:
  14         - Dual Core ARM Cortex-R5F processor
  15 3. MAIN domain:
  16         - Dual core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72
  17         - 2 x Dual cortex ARM Cortex-R5 subsystem
  18         - 2 x C66x Digital signal processor sub system
  19         - C71x Digital signal processor sub-system with MMA.

  23 Boot Flow:
  24 ----------
  25 Boot flow is similar to that of AM65x SoC and extending it with remoteproc
  26 support. Below is the pictorial representation of boot flow:
