The top of page 38 (1.2 Component Overview) reads:

"To enable secure applications, the SoC features an on-die Boot ROM

immutable code located within the Boot ROM is used to initiate an
iterative firmware authentication process ensuring only trusted code
is executed when taking the platform out of reset."
