Parallel Display Jumper Configurations

Due to the small footprint of the solder jumpers, we recommend using caution when modifying these. Please contact our sales team if you require any options beyond the default configuration.

The phyBOARD-i.MX7 provides one solder jumper (J) at J2 for Parallel Display touch controller I2C address configurations.
