Description

I can submit a PR for this, but in the rt685s example, it uses the crate version as the Boot Image Version. Based on my understanding, this needs to be well-formed according to the reference manual (something about two bytes for the version, the other two bytes is the complement of the version)

I found this out the hard way when I changed the version in my project.

I can update the example, but I can't test it. But the short answer I think is "unless you know what you're doing, don't touch this."

Research direction

Start with the rt685s example and compare its Boot Image Version value with the reference manual's version and complement-byte requirements. Update the example and its explanation so the expected format and the warning about changing it are clear; confirm the documented value matches the manual, noting that the reporter could not test it.
