MBa7x DIP switch settings

To select the desired boot medium set the DIP switches S2, S3, S4 and S1 accordingly.

Boot Mode

To enable boot device selection BOOT_MODE has to be set to “Internal Boot”.
This can be done using DIP switch S1 on MBa7x.
Switching boot sources is only possible if the BOOT_MODE fuses are not programmed. If configured for “Boot from eFuses” but fuses are not programmed, the boot loader will not be able to determine the boot source.
BOOT_MODE S1-1 S1-2
Boot from eFuses 0 0
Serial Downloader 0 1
Internal Boot 1 0


The following boot modes of the i.MX7 can be selected by the DIP switches S1, S2, S3 and S4 on the MBa7x:
