PS25, Line 155: * Otherwise, it contains only 2 partitions(BP1+BP3)
Done
Thanks. Alas, I still don't get it. Below it says BP3 is loaded by BP2.
So in the absence of BP2 (no-redundancy case), how is BP3 used?
Or does the no-redundancy case imply that the BP2 firmware is used
with BP1? Wouldn't it make more sense then, to say no-redundancy is
BP2+BP3? I guess it would be clearer if we would give them names,
not numbers.
Is there an Intel document describing this? I couldn't find anything
about BPs in Intel's ME BIOS Specifications.
My current interpretation is as follows:
* No-redundancy: 1st partition (Boot+AppLoader), 2nd partition (Apps)
* Redundancy: 1st partition (Boot), 2nd partition (Boot+AppLoader), 3rd partition (Apps)
Does that make any sense?
