Selecting Boot Device Print


The Emcraft i.MX 8M Starter Kit supports several boot devices. Selection of a specific boot device is defined by the state of the switches on the IMX8M-SOM-BSB development board, as follows:

SW1 SW2 SW3 SW4 SW5 SW6 SW7 SW8
Boot from SD Card OFF ON OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF
Boot from on-module eMMC OFF ON OFF OFF OFF OFF ON OFF
Boot from USB Serial Downloader ON OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF

By default, the Starter Kit is configured to boot the default Linux configuration from the on-module eMMC. You can override this configuration by modifying the set of the switches on the IMX8M-SOM-BSB, as described above.
