10.2 Booting FRWY-LS1046A
When the FRWY-LS1046A is powered on, the boot loader (U-Boot) image in the QSPI NOR flash memory of the board runs, if
the DIP switch has default settings.
Follow these steps to boot the board:
1. Ensure that you have met the prerequisites described in
Table 8
.
2. Open the chassis top cover and ensure that the DIP switch has default settings, it means, SW1[1:10] = 0010001000.
