Can we use reserved location of IVT ? I want to use this to verify if I'm downloading correct hex file even though checksum is passed?

Can we use the reserved location of IVT as defined below 0x08000000

__vector_table
        DCD     sfe(CSTACK)
        DCD     Reset_Handler                     ; Reset Handler
 
        DCD     NMI_Handler                       ; NMI Handler
        DCD     HardFault_Handler                 ; Hard Fault Handler
        DCD     MemManage_Handler                 ; MPU Fault Handler
        DCD     BusFault_Handler                  ; Bus Fault Handler
        DCD     UsageFault_Handler                ; Usage Fault Handler
        DCD     0x08000000                        ; Reserved
        DCD     0                                 ; Reserved
        DCD     0                                 ; Reserved

Yes. The CPU won't care about unused locations in the vector table as those interrupts should never get triggered.
