13.2 Introduction
The Kinetis devices that do not have an on-chip ROM are shipped with the pre-
programmed Kinetis Flashloader in the on-chip flash memory, for one-time, in-system
factory programming. The Kinetis Flashloader’s main task is to load a customer firmware
image into the flash memory. The image on the flash has 2 programs: flashloader_loader
and flashloader. After a device reset, the flashloader_loader program starts its execution
first. The flashloader_loader program copies the contents of flashloader image from the
flash to the on-chip RAM; the device then switches execution to the flashloader program
to execute from RAM.
