For convenience, the IDE can join together any combination of your IPL, OS image, and .efs files into a single, larger image that you can transfer to your target:
When you create a combined image, you specify the IPL's path and filename on your host machine. You can either select a precompiled IPL from an existing BSP, or compile your own IPL from your own assembler and C source.
Padding separates the IPL, .ifs, and .efs files in the combined image.
