4.4.1.2. Configuring the Boot Environment

Your particular system may require a bootloader to configure the application image before execution. For example, suppose your application image is stored in flash memory and copied to volatile memory for performance. In that case, a bootloader must configure the application image in the volatile memory. This configuration process occurs before the HAL BSP library configuration routines execute and before the crt0 code block executes. A bootloader implements this process.
