[1] Interface requires additional configuration, such as pinmuxing. It may be possible to change the software configuration to utilize this interface even if it is not being set in the board's default configuration. Please see NXP's i.MX7D Technical Reference Manual for more information on the various modes each pin can be muxed to.

Known Issues
PHYTEC Known Issues
- LCD data signals at Audio/Video connector X3 are not in the order expected by PEB-AV-02, so colors are displayed incorrectly. Fix is planned for next board revision.
- SPI NOR Flash chip not configured correctly by dts/driver, causing segmentation fault
- Booting from eMMC not supported yet
- PCIe connector not accessible due to large capacitors, fix is planned for next board revision.
