2.2.3 USB DFU Bootloader

The AM261x devices also support a DFU boot mode meaning the devices can receive applications (single and multi-core images) over USB DFU. The DFU class from the TinyUSB stack is used, which implements a dfu task. This task receives the application image and stores it into the device RAM. After this is completed, the application is then booted using standard bootloader APIs.
