Why is this method superior to having a regular bootloader, and you have N
applications, where each application is the individual test routine and the
common portion? Why do you have create this custom interface which has its own
set of problems? Alternatively, creating a custom Makefile to handle building
10 different applications is certainly easier in comparison.
