... I see, you even did not answer my question ;-) Get well soon!

For me it would be. Will it be for others too? In case one will build a
bootloader, I think he/she should be able to read a readme file. Thos,
let's use the boot directory :) It's even worse, because the loaded
application needs some precautions in the linker script / startup code
to. So no way if one does not read the Makefile...

Bye,

Ole
