 AST2700 features four Cortex-A35 primary processors and two Cortex-M4 coprocessors.
 **ast2700-evb** machine focuses on emulating the four Cortex-A35 primary processors,
 **ast2700fc** machine extends **ast2700-evb** by adding support for the two Cortex-M4 coprocessors.
+There are two methods to boot the ast2700fc machine.
+
+Manual boot using ``-device loader``:
+
+In this approach, users manually load firmware and assign entry points via QEMU loader devices.
+By default, the PSP begins execution at address ``0x430000000``, the load address of the bl31
+firmware. The SSP and TSP start in the powered-off state and must be explicitly enabled by the
+PSP through writes to SCU registers.

+Boot using a virtual boot ROM (-bios):
+
+In this method, the virtual boot ROM (vbootrom) handles the full initialization sequence.
+It starts the PSP, which then enables the SSP and TSP by programming the appropriate SCU
+registers, following the hardware behavior.
+
+Execute the following command to start ``ast2700fc`` machine:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  IMGDIR=ast2700-default
+
+  $ qemu-system-aarch64 -M ast2700fc \
+      -bios ast27x0_bootrom.bin \

 After launching QEMU, serial devices will be automatically redirected.
