TMDSCNCD263P: Can we flash image file into external flash using uniflash tool, while boot DIP switches are in xSPI boot mode

Tool/software:

In our custom PCB, we have designed the AM263Px MCU to boot in xSPI boot mode by hardwiring the boot DIP switch pins to xSPI mode. When we want to load or update the application image in the external NOR flash, can we use the UniFlash utility to flash the image into the external flash while keeping the boot pins in xSPI mode?

Or do we need to change the boot DIP switches to DevMode first, flash the image into the external flash, and then switch the boot pins back to xSPI mode before powering on the device?

Thanks in advance
