There are 2 types of apps in the EC:

  • main app
  • Scratch ROM apps

The Scratch ROM apps are built and embedded into the main app using a hack: their binary is converted to hex using xxd and then included as a byte array at the desired address.

Rework the toolchain usage to support building multiple apps, with their own compiler and linker flags, at specific base addresses. This requires compiling them in their own segment that can then have its start address set (-Wl -b<SEG>=<ADDR>).
