Romain Naour 700ba1df1e package/ti-k3: switch ti_am6{2,4}x_sk_defconfig to HS-FS by default 
From Andreas Dannenberg (TI K3 architect) [1]:

  "HS-FS should be the default for all TI AM6x devices. This is our
  "production silicon" and what's used for (almost) all projects,
  especially new projects. This being said having support for GP device
  variants still is desirable for existing boards/projects, such as the
  current BeaglePlay boards (amongst earlier version of TI starter kit
  EVMs for AM6x)."

See further details on e2e Forum [2]:

  "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 (and AM64x) boards, users have
to provide the tiboot3.bin name using BR2_TARGET_TI_K3_R5_LOADER_TIBOOT3_BIN.

Texas Instuments SK-AM64 Test and Development Board

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

This configuration will build a complete image for the TI SK-AM64
board: https://www.ti.com/tool/SK-AM64.

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

Select the default configuration for the target:

$ make am64x_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-am64x-{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 AM64x 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 DEBUG CONSOLE to
communicate with the board.
