From d7ccfc5bd66c6f873d292592bea7a8342b12016e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Rini Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:53:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] am335x_evm: Update README for customization As this is a reference platform, update the README to note which IP blocks are required for use due to design choices of the reference rather than required by the SoC itself.
