Does the Boot2 code take care of figuring out the correct address to
write the thick firmware to, or does the flash tool have to figure out
the address to write it to?  Normally this address is embedded in the
firmware flash file header, is there an address the tool should check
for to verify, or is that address completely irrelevant because the
boot2 code is smart enough to figure out where to put it?
