+``BOOT_MODE0`` going to the i.MX6:
+
+Set ``SW1 = 01`` for serial boot::
+
+ SW1
+ v.---.
+ 1|o--| O
+ 2|--o| N
+ `---'
+
+Set ``SW1 = 10`` for internal (SPI-NOR Flash) boot::

+
+ 3. Turn board's power on
+
+ 4. Upload barebox image to the board via imx-usb-loader
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ host$ imx-usb-loader images/barebox-embest-imx6q-marsboard.img
+..
+
+ 4. Flash barebox to SPI-NOR Flash via Android Fastboot
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ host$ fastboot flash bbu-spiflash images/barebox-embest-imx6q-marsboard.img
+
+..
+
+ 5. Restore ``SW1 = 10`` for internal (SPI-NOR) boot (see above)
