Next to run the demo in the SABRE tablet, I followed the instruction in http://genode-main.narkive.com/qJXUD6w5/arm-trustzone-demo-in-i-mx53-sabre-tablet. Created the u-boot.imx using https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/i.MX53+Quick+Start#i.MX53QuickStart-Bootloader:U-Boot for the step 2)

Does that mean, I should open the back cover of the tablet to change these? Is this what http://genode-main.narkive.com/qJXUD6w5/arm-trustzone-demo-in-i-mx53-sabre-tablet did?

exactly, you have to toggle the boot-switches according to Freescales
documentation of this board to boot from SD-card instead of internal
MMC. You can only access those SW26/28 switches by opening the tablet's
case.
