FlashFig support is enabled on every new RouterBOARD manufactured since March 2010 by default from the factory. For older models, FlashFig can be enabled via RouterBOOT or from MikroTik RouterOS console - /system routerboard settings set boot-device=flash-boot-once-then-nand or /system routerboard settings set boot-device=flash-boot.

Info

Starting from RouterOS/RouterBOOT v7.16, flash boot mode will be enabled in the same way as from the factory, after every system reset initiated from the software. The same mode will be initiated when you reset router with the reset button, (bootloader version  v7.16 or higher is required). 
Please note that if you press and hold reset button before powering on the router, then the backup booter is used. The backup booter firmware (installed in the factory) must also then be v7.16 or higher. 

FlashFig mode on a brand new RouterBOARD is disabled on further boots only after the first successful user login or successful FlashFig attempt to avoid unwanted reconfiguration at a later time. To use FlashFig a second time on the same router, you need to enable flash-boot in Bootloader settings (this setting will revert to NAND after a successful configuration change OR once any user logs into the board).
