3.3 Boot Mode Selection
BOOTMODE[9:3] for the AM243x are selected by a DIP switch (SW4) or the test automation header. The
remaining BOOTMODE[2:0] and BOOTMODE[12:10] are selected through the use of resistors. The test
automation header uses an I2C IO expansion buffer to drive the bootmode when PORz is toggled. For more
details about the test automation header, see
. The supported boot modes are as follows:
• QSPI
• MMC - μSDCard (no direct support)
• Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART)
• USB-DFU
• No-boot
