| A 32-bit checksum value is programmed by the bootloader at the end of a programming session. Upon startup, the bootloader verifies the correctness of this checksum to determine if a valid user program is present and can be started. | A 32-bit checksum value is programmed by the bootloader at the end of a programming session.

| - | The bootloader programs this value at the end of the user program's vector table. Its exact location is configured by macro FLASH_VECTOR_TABLE_CS_OFFSET in flash.c. The vector table size can vary based on the microcontroller derivative you are using. Please verify that the default value of FLASH_VECTOR_TABLE_CS_OFFSET is correct. If not, you can simply override the value by adding the macro with the correct value to the blt_conf.h configuration header file. | + | The bootloader programs this value at the end of the user program's vector table.

| The user program must reserve space for this 32-bit checksum value. To reserve this space, simply enter one extra dummy entry into the interrupt vector table. This reserves space for the checksum at memory address: flash base address + flash reserved for bootloader + FLASH_VECTOR_TABLE_CS_OFFSET. Refer to the demo program for an example. | The user program must reserve space for this 32-bit checksum value.

| After reset, the bootloader gets started first and, if a valid user program is present, it is the bootloaders responsibility to start the user program. This unfortunately means that the automatic initialization of the CPU's stackpointer register does not work for the user program. The user program therefore needs to explicitly set the initial value of the CPU's stackpointer register in the reset interrupt service routine.
