Note:
The factory update image has a different format, which requires a different procedure for the pointer updates. When using the
HPS to manage RSU, both U-Boot and LIBRSU clients implement this procedure for relocating the factory update image.
Note:
The combined application image has a different format, with no pointers that need to be relocated. The image can be placed
unmodified in flash at any address.
