00 00 ; 0x0000 - Size of 0 indicates end of data stream
After load has completed the following memory values will have been initialized as follows:
Location Value
0x3F9010 0x0001
0x3F9011 0x0002
0x3F9012 0x0003
0x3F9013 0x0004
0x3F9014 0x0005
0x3F8000 0x7700
0x3F8001 0x7625
PC Begins execution at 0x3F8000
Figure 2-6 illustrates the basic process a bootloader uses to determine whether 8-bit or 16-bit data stream
has been selected, transfer that data, and start program execution. This process occurs after the
bootloader finds the valid boot mode selected by the state of GPIO pins.
The loader first compares the first value sent by the host against the 16-bit key value of 0x10AA. If the
value fetched does not match then the loader will read a second value. This value will be combined with
the first value to form a word. This will then be checked against the 8-bit key value of 0x08AA. If the
loader finds that the header does not match either the 8-bit or 16-bit key value, or if the value is not valid
for the given boot mode then the load will abort. In this case the loader will return the entry point address
for the flash to the calling routine.
