The boot image can contain address-data pairs that initialize control registers during the BootROM handover to user code. Unintended access to illegal addresses is enabled.
When a boot image address-data pair writes outside of its subset of addresses, the system generates a lockdown situation and a BootROM error code to generated.
The registers that are accessible during the handover depends on the boot mode (secure versus non-secure) and the device revision as shown in the table.
