Please review the vale comments about capitalization
Fix some minor issues in the docs reported by vale during CI tests. Signed-off-by: Anshul Dalal <[email protected]>
Update the document to use standardized section headers as per sphinx documentation: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html#sections Signed-off-by: Anshul Dalal <[email protected]>
The OSPI section wasn't properly enumerated as '3.1.1.11.2.1' as first the subsection under 'Extra Configuration'. This patch moves the ifconfig guards to inside of the subsection header so it's parsed properly. Signed-off-by: Anshul Dalal <[email protected]>
In OSPI boot with falcon mode, the 'mmcdev' variable is used to select between SD/MMC or eMMC for loading the fitImage which wasn't documented previously. Signed-off-by: Anshul Dalal <[email protected]>
A figure[1] in reStructuredText allows us to easily add a title to GIF, use that instead of image. [1]: https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#figure Signed-off-by: Anshul Dalal <[email protected]>
The fitImage is expected to contain the required DTB in falcon mode so remove the ask for redundant DTB in rootfs from the docs. Signed-off-by: Anshul Dalal <[email protected]>

I fixed the issues but there are still quite a few false positives in the vale output. The listed errors are because of vale detecting the section markers |

I have no idea if we want to squash these together before we merge but the content looks great
