Boot from User Flash mode
The application code that runs after reset is located in user flash memory.
The user flash memory in this mode is aliased to start at address 0x00000000 in boot
memory space. Upon reset, the top-of-stack value is fetched from address 0x00000000,
and code then begins execution at address 0x00000004.
Boot from System Memory mode
The system memory (not the user flash) is now aliased to start at address 0x00000000. The
application code in this case must have already been loaded into system memory.
Boot from Embedded SRAM mode
The SRAM start at address 0x00000000. When this mode is selected, the device expects
the vector table to have been relocated using the NVIC exception table and offset register,
and execution begins at the start of embedded SRAM. The application code in this case
must have already been loaded into embedded SRAM.
This last mode is usually used for Debugging.
