5.3.10.2 Specifying the Application Entrypoint
When the Specify Entrypoint checkbox is selected, AISgen allows a custom entrypoint to be specified in the adjacent text box. This is the address to which the bootloader will exit after boot completes. It is often unnecessary to specify this value; AISgen will automatically read the entrypoint from an ARM application file (in COFF or ELF format).
If an entrypoint is specified, that entrypoint always takes precedence. Otherwise, the entrypoint of the application file is used. If more than one application file is specified, the entrypoint from the first file is used, but a manually specified entrypoint supersedes any number of application files.
If no application file is specified (all files are binary files), an entrypoint must be specified manually.
