Flash Selection by DIP Switch
In some cases it may be necessary to force the board to boot from the other flash bank without
using the management software. In this case, the onboard DIP switch SW4, switch 2, is used
to toggle the active flash bank. Please note that this switch does not “select” a flash bank. It
only toggles the currently selected flash bank.
