Bryan Brattlof e1aacc3049 boot/arm-trusted-firmware: move to official source for tf-a
ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE_SITE is currently pointing to the deprecated
ARM-software github read-only mirror[0] which is no longer publishing
new tags. They do have a newer github mirror under the TrustedFirmware-A
organization[1] which continues to receive tag updates we could use
however because of the way github generates tarballs changing the SITE
to point to TrustedFormware-A changes the pre-calculated hash values
for every version for everyone.

Without much way around changing all hash values if we want these latest
tags, lets drop the github mirrors and move to the official git
source[2] so we can download real tarballs which shouldn't change even
if the ARM_TRUSTED_FIRMWARE_SITE moves again and hopefully preventing
this from ever happening again.

Texas Instuments SK-AM62 Test and Development Board

Description
===========

This configuration will build a complete image for the TI SK-AM62
board: https://www.ti.com/tool/SK-AM62.

How to Build
============

Select the default configuration for the target:

$ make ti_am62x_sk_defconfig

Optional: modify the configuration:

$ make menuconfig

IMPORTANT: make sure to use the tiboot3 firmware that match with the TI
K3 SoC boot ROM (tiboot3-am62x-{gp/hs-fs/hs}-*.bin) used on the board.

HS-FS should be the default for all TI AM6x devices but earlier version
of TI starter kit EVMs for AM6x was produced with a GP device.

See further details on e2e Forum [1] :

   "Unfortunately with this transition any existing GP device based AM62x
   (and AM64x) boards will no longer boot with MMC/SD card images generated"

For such existing GP device based AM62x boards, users have to provide the
tiboot3.bin name using BR2_TARGET_TI_K3_R5_LOADER_TIBOOT3_BIN.

Build:

$ make

To copy the resultimg output image file to an SD card use dd:

$ dd if=output/images/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M

How to Run
==========

Insert the SD card into the SK-AM62 board, and power it up through the
USB Type-C connector. The system should come up. You can use a
micro-USB cable to connect to the connector labeled UART to
communicate with the board.
