1.8 Jumpers
Jumpers (or shorting headers) are small connectors that allow to choose from two or
more options available. Jumpers are installed during board assembly and do not require
any changes. In MIMXRT1040-EVK board, all jumpers are 2/3-pin connectors with two
settings: open and shorted. Figure 3 highlights the MIMXRT1040-EVK board jumpers
available for use. The table below describes the jumpers.
The following is a list of all of the jumper options on the MIMXRT1040-EVK board.
