AM5748: AM5748 booting over UART

Hello Keerthy,

As I have said, following your request I went to look the FAQ link and in there I did not see that your 6.03 SDK does not support UART booting.  I only saw that feature has not been verified.

However, from the 3.1.1.10. UART section of your Processor SDK Linux 06_03_00_106 document, I searched the E2E support forums space and found the following high level instruction posted by @Yordan Kovachev, which read as follows:

"You should not use the x-modem to transfer the u-boot-spl.bin file, you will need a binary transfer (and you'll need to send the boot message first), so the procedure is:
1. Perform binary transfer of the boot message: 0xF0030002 -> this tells the board that you will transfer a boot image.
2. Perform binary transfer of u-boot-spl.bin
3. Perform xmodem transfer of the u-boot imag"

So, just now, after a few days of juggling and struggling, I have succeed to execute the steps 1 and 2 from the above procedure by using the serial-boot.pl script.

I will next focus on getting the instruction 3 executed.

However, as this is my first time I am using TI's support forum and I am not familiar with its organisation, I am puzzled when you say the AM57xx processor family does not support UART booting.  Maybe, you can provide some explanation - but I was hoping that some other contributors on like @Yordan Kovachev could provide some details on the three steps quoted above.
