PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X: fake device id for boot. flash boot mode.

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMDS64EVM

Tool/software:

Hi,

I am using dev board TMDS64EVM.

1.

I found devID is always 55, is that DEV_ID the fake one, actually, we can put into any number, right?

eg: in am243x it is 55

in am263x, it is still 55.

in am64x, it is another 55.

2. now, we both know that that dev_id is not used anywhere. Even it is part of  struct  Bootloader_MetaHeaderStart, instead, can I would rewrite it, and change the value to be reserved. Thanks. 

<code>

typedef struct Bootloader_MetaHeaderStart_s
{
    uint32_t magicStr;
    uint32_t numFiles;
    uint32_t devId;   // not used anywhere in code.  55.
    uint32_t rsvd;

} Bootloader_MetaHeaderStart;
