    program code contains the interrupt vectors and the reset vector and is basically an expanded bootstrap code. When the MCU messages the DSP that the ADSIC has been configured, the DSP overlays more code from the ROM into external SRAM and begins to execute it. Overlays occur at different times when the DSP moves code from the ROM into external SRAM depending on immediate mode of operation, such as changing from transmit to receive.
