6.5.3 Single-chip boot mode
In Single-chip mode, the hardware searches flash boot sectors for a valid boot ID. As soon the device 
detects a bootable sector, it jumps within this sector and reads the 32-bit word at offset 0x4. This word is 
the address where the startup code is located (reset boot vector).
