Overview

IVT Tool allows configuration and generation of the Image Vector Table using the format and constraints specified in the BootROM reference manual.

The Image Vector Table (IVT) is the first image that the BootROM reads from the boot device. The IVT contains the required data components like image entry point, pointer to Device Configuration Data (DCD) and other pointers used by the BootROM during the boot process. The location of the IVT is the only fixed requirement by BootROM. The remainder of the image memory map is flexible and is traceable by the contents of the IVT.

This default IVT image structure can be customized for the customer’s needs, but the data used to define the structure is delivered in an encrypted format, because the user should not tweak the files by himself.
