3.3 Boot Image Manager (BIM)

Boot Image Manager (BIM) is a subset of Customer Secure Code (CSC) from the process flow aspect. As there is no hardware isolation mechanism to divide privileged state and unprivileged state in this solution, the whole boot flow is simpler than CSC, without features of firewall, KEYSTORE, bank swap, CMAC. Please refer to Table 3-1 for comparison between BIM and CSC.
