#### <mark style="color:blue;">2.3.1  test U-boot on board</mark>

&#x20;<mark style="color:red;">**IMP Note:**</mark> before flash uboot make sdcard partion using gpart

```
uboot binary name: u-boot-dtb.imx 
        we will flash "u-boot-dtb.imx" to sdcard RAW partintion
Connect MicroSD card to ubuntu PC
run the below command in uboot dir
sudo dd if=u-boot-dtb.imx of=/dev/sdX bs=1K seek=1 && sync
        Note: here mysdcard connected as /dev/sdc check yours using df -h
remove SDcard and connect to board.
power on board using Micro USB cable
```

Jumper settings: Boot Mode

**SDcard**:  **0 0 1 0                 # 0 - down          1- up**&#x20;
