Hello satya,

First read these two pages about Boot Process this and this, then dive it to AM572x Sitara Processor Technical Reference Manual (Rev. I) and read Chapter 33.3 Device Initialization by ROM Code. These articles should be sufficient to understand the boot process basics.

Best regards,
Kemal

hi,

instead of refering documents can you place the memory locations with brief from your understanding.
I'm not able to get from chapter 2 in TRM and community links, it confused me alot.
