Document SRC_GPR10 PERSIST_SECONDARY_BOOT functionality. This is useful for reliable bootloader A/B updates, as it permits switching between two copies of bootloader at different offsets of the same storage. The switch happens in case one copy is corrupted OR can be enforced by user. This functionality is present at least since i.MX53, however is poorly documented in all known SoC datasheets, hence this document aims to clarify the usage, currently on i.MX7D and i.MX8MM.

The U-Boot Documentation
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
This is the top level of the U-Boot's documentation tree. U-Boot
|
|
documentation, like the U-Boot itself, is very much a work in progress;
|
|
that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
|
|
documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
|
|
documentation are welcome; join the U-Boot list at http://lists.denx.de
|
|
if you want to help out.

trying to get it to work optimally on a given system.

U-Boot API documentation
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
These books get into the details of how specific U-Boot subsystems work
|
|
from the point of view of a U-Boot developer. Much of the information here
|
|
is taken directly from the U-Boot source, with supplemental material added
|
|
as needed (or at least as we managed to add it - probably *not* all that is
|
|
needed).
