Hi, 
Please tell me about correct circuitry to use boot pins as input,

I use Beaglbone Black and want to use these pins,
especially eQep counter pins P8-33,35,41,42 that match to SYS_BOOT 
4,5,12,13.

In SRM (ver A6) p104 it says,
"If you plan to use any of these signals, then on power up, these pins 
should not be driven."

Which of below is correct circuitry?
A) Attach pins to ground until SYS_RESETn goes high.
B) Keep pins floated until SYS_RESETn goes high.

A is easier, because it can be done by switching 1 relay pulling all pins 
to ground.
For B, I need plenty relays.

Thanks,
Tohru
