 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.
 
 Steps to boot the AST2700fc machine:
 
-1. Ensure you have the following AST2700A1 binaries available in a directory

+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.
