 The high level view of startup process is as follows:

 宏观上，该启动流程可以分为如下 3 个步骤：
 
-1. :ref:`first-stage-bootloader` 被固化在了 {IDF_TARGET_NAME} 内部的 ROM 中，它会从 flash 的  {IDF_TARGET_CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_OFFSET_IN_FLASH} 偏移地址处加载二级引导程序至 RAM (IRAM & DRAM) 中。

-2. :ref:`second-stage-bootloader` 从 flash 中加载分区表和主程序镜像至内存中，主程序中包含了 RAM 段和通过 flash 高速缓存映射的只读段。
