# 3.1.4 Function Button

The function button overrides the eMMC boot behavior option. Since eMMC is the default first boot device, this means the function button effectively changes the preferred boot device. The first boot device can be changed using the Boot Mode switches in the next section, and may significantly alter the functionality of this button. See “Boot Mode Switch” on page 31.

By default, holding the function button and then attaching the AC power connector will cause the system to boot from the microSD card. If there is no boot code or boot device in the microSD card slot, the system will boot in to serial download mode.
