4.1 Section Load Command (0x58535901)
The user application consists of a number of initialized sections and an application entry point. The Section Load command is used to load each initialized section of the application to device memory.
Figure 6. Section Load Command This command takes two arguments: address and size of the section to be loaded, followed by contents of the section (data). If the length of the section content is not a multiple of 4 bytes, appropriate zero padding is added to make it so; zero padding is not reflected in the SIZE argument.
When CRC checking is enabled, the address and size arguments are fed into the CRC update function in that order. After the section is fully loaded to memory, the section data is fed into the CRC update function beginning at the specified address.
