| − | The i.MX8M Evaluation Kit provides two switches in order to set the boot configurations according to your needs. You can see both switches on the following picture:
| |
| − | [[File:switchesevk.png|300px|center|Boot switches on the i.MX8M EVK]]
| |
| − | Where the one surrounded by a red square is the '''SW801''' switch and the one surrounded by a yellow square is the '''SW802''' switch.
| |
| − | *'''SW801:''' This switch allows to configure the boot mode by selecting one of the following options:
| |
| − | **Boot from EMMC.
| |
| − | **Boot from SD2.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *'''SW802:''' This switch allows to configure the boot source by selecting one of the following options:
| |
| − | **Boot From Fuses.
| |
| − | **Serial Downloader.
| |
| − | **Internal Boot (Development).
| |
| − | **Reserved.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The i.MX8M Applications Processor can be the boot configuration selected on '''SW802''' or by the boot configuration stored on internal eFUSE. Alternatively, the i.MX8M can download a program image from a USB connection when configured in serial downloader mode. The method used to determine where the processor finds its boot information is from two dedicated BOOT MODE pins.

| |
| − | In the following table you can see how to configure each mode on '''SW802''':

| − | The two pins are tied to the BOOT modules. It is recommended to use the dual-switch ('''SW802''') to select the input voltage of these two
| |
| − | pins, 0 or 3.3 V. If the developer wants to boot the program Image from the Fuses Mode, the position of the switch 1 and 2 must be set to OFF, it is the same principle to choose the Serial Downloader Module or Internal Boot Module to load bootable code into the processor.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If the method of determining the bootable source code is selected to be from the hardware, then the developer must set the switch '''SW802:''' MODE0 to OFF, MODE1 to ON, and the four i.MX8M pins of the '''SW801''' must be set on the EVK board by considering the information present in the following table:
| |
