I was going through the Gold VIP user manual "GoldVIP-S32G3-1.11.0-User-Manual.pdf",

Here i dnt understand the significance of GoldVIP Real-time Bootloader image (Slot A) (Slot B),or GoldVIP Real-time Gateway application image (Slot A) (Slot B).

what are these different slots , i can see when this software is flashed to Nor flash it will be using Slot A in both the case .
I don't see anywhere the slot 2 is used what is the exact use case of this slot 2

Hello,

There is no linker because we have no any example of it, but you can modify current linker file and add a memory through QSPI or a sensor, etc.

Hello @Bio_TICFSL
Thank you for the response ,
To be clear my quetion is in current GoldVIP-S32G3-1.11.0 package ,is this space is in use or not ?, because even we will not load any application to this area while flashing we are using only Slot A
i am asking becasue i am planning to use this area for other memory allocation like NvM area, before doing that i wanted to confirm
