<p>Toolchain: ST-LINK/V2 programmer, OpenOCD, ARM GNU Compiler Toolchain.</p>

<p>ARM chips boot into 0x00000. GPNVM bits map one of ROM, flash0, flash1 to
0x00000:</p>

<ul>
  <li>GPNVM1=0 → ROM (default).</li>
  <li>GPNVM1=1 and GPNVM2=0 → flash0.</li>
  <li>GPNVM1=1 and GPNVM2=1 → flash1.</li>
</ul>

<p>By default, control jumps to Atmel’s SAM-BA bootloader in ROM. To bypass, set
GPNVM1=1 and place vector table at 0x80000 (flash0).</p>

<p>Connect ST-LINK/v2 to Arduino Due’s DEBUG port:</p>
