+The ROM ELF file is automatically loaded from a location based on the ``IDF_PATH`` and ``ESP_ROM_ELF_DIR`` environment variables. This can be overridden by calling esp_idf_monitor and providing a path to a specific ROM ELF file: ``python -m esp_idf_monitor --rom-elf-file [path to ROM ELF file]``.
+
 .. note::
 
     Set environment variable ``ESP_MONITOR_DECODE`` to ``0`` or call esp_idf_monitor with specific command line option: ``python -m esp_idf_monitor --disable-address-decoding`` to disable address decoding.
