The structure of an image is defined by the:
number of its constituent regions and output sections
positions in memory of these regions and sections when the image is loaded
positions in memory of these regions and sections when the image executes.
When describing a memory map:
The term root region is used to describe a region that has the same load and execution addresses.
Load regions are equivalent to ELF segments.
