After completing the boot load process, execution starts at the default entry point specified by the linker and contained in the object file. By using the --entrypoint option with the hex conversion utility, you can set the entry point to a different address.
For example, if you want your program to start running at address 0x0123 after loading, specify --entrypoint=0x0123 on the command line or in a command file. You can determine the --entrypoint address by looking at the map file that the linker generates.
