It depends on which bootloader you are talking about: you can use the internal bootloader, which is discussed in detail in AN2606, or you can use your own, self-written one.

Difference:

  • the internal one is in parallel to the user flash, so it does not take up any space for the user application
  • a self-written one offers full flexibility, but reduces the usable user Flash

Please read the documentation in AN2606 mentioned above as it probably answers a lot of your questions.
