-Important Notes
---------------------
-	- Set the bootargs to use only 54M, this is required for Ducati testing.
-		Run below command in u-boot prompt.
-
-	set bootargs root=/dev/ram0 rw mem=54M console=ttyS0,115200n8
-	initrd=0x81600000,20M ramdisk_size=20480
-
-	- One need to have CCS to start the Ducati processors as the Virtio doesn't have
-		the PRCM support to reset Ducati processors.
-	- Code Composer Studio is required to write the Start DSP Address to the
-		PC register
-	* CCS_v3.3_SR9_79.exe or CCS_v3.3_SR10_80.exe or CCS_v3.3_SR11
-	* Install ccs_VPOMAP4_1.00.02.zip located at
-		C:\Virtio\Platforms\VPOM4430\CCS
-	* Use Tesla - VPOMAP 4 Platform Simulator.
-	* Please contact your TI representative for further information on
-		Code Composer Studio (CCS)
-
-	- Basic Validation for Tesla Bridge was done with samples in
-	Static and dynamic mode:
-		Dmmcopy, Zcmsg, Strmcopy, Scale and Ping
-	- Basic validation for Ducati image with loading ducati imeges
-		and Notify ping sample.

-==================================
-Issues Resolved
-==================================
-	- NONE
-
-==================================
-Known Issues
-==================================
-	1. Running dynamic samples second time failing, one has to restart
-		Virtio for running another dyncamic sample.
-	2. Due to mailbox changes in Virtio1.06a version, Bridge 24.0.8 release
-		is not backward compatible with Virtio versions < 1.06a.
-	3. Notipy ping sample some times not working because of timing issues.
-		Need to have break points in Ducati side.
-	4. CCS is required to start Ducati processors (SYSM3/APPM3), as the
-		current Virtio doesn't have the PRCM support to reset Ducati Processors.
-	5. ping sample is not working in dynamic mode in Tesla due to dependant
-		library issue this is been tracked by internal tracking number id:
-		OMAPS00202802
