Figure 5-1: Flash Addressing Scheme - VMP3
To understand the above concept assume for example that the onboard soldered Flash is an
16 MB device, and the application image is 4 MB.
Then:
4 MB application size = 0x0040 0000
application size + 0x7 = 0x0040 0007
0x0005 FFFF + application size + 0x7 = 0x0046 0006
0xZZZZ ZZZZ = 0x00FF FFFF
Addressing of off-board Flash would begin with 0x0100 0000.
