i.MX95 Image Container Format
-----------------------------
The image container set consists of some image containers, and image container
contains boot images. Each image container has its own container header which is
defined in Figure 1. All container headers are placed together in a continuous
8KB space at the beginning of the image container set - image container set header.
ROM code addresses image containers in image container set one by one based on
their headers’ order in image container set header.
If ELE container exists, its container header must be the 1st one in the image
container set header.
If V2X container exists, its container header must be the 2nd one in the image
container set header. V2X must be combined with ELE container.
The information of boot images are recorded in image container header. System
ROM code needs to retrieve the information from the image container header, like
the offset on boot source, the target address in RAM, the length of boot image.
The order of ROM code handling these boot images is based on the order of each
boot image information present in image container header.
