+VA416xx Bootloader Application
+=======
+
+This is the Rust version of the bootloader supplied by Vorago.
+
+The bootloader uses the following memory map:
+
+| <0x0> | Bootloader start | <code up to 0x3FFE bytes> |
+| <0x3FFE> | Bootloader CRC | <word> |
+| <0x4000> | App image A start | <code up to 0x1DFFC (~120K) bytes> |
+| <0x21FFC> | App image A CRC check length | <word> |
+| <0x21FFE> | App image A CRC check value | <word> | 
+| <0x22000> | App image B start | <code up to 0x1DFFC (~120K) bytes> |
+| <0x3FFFC> | App image B CRC check length | <word> |
+| <0x3FFFE> | App image B CRC check value | <word> |
+| <0x40000> | End of NVM | <end>  |
+
+As opposed to the Vorago example code, this bootloader assumes a 40 MHz external clock
+but does not scale that clock up.
