By design, the BCT's data is only signed after offset 0x0510. Therefore, regions like [[customer_data|customer_data]] can be freely modified without resigning. This is done by [[NS_Services|NS]] when injecting a new [[Flash_Filesystem#Keyblob|keyblob]] during a system update, for example.
During boot, the boot ROM parses the appropriate BCT from eMMC storage and stores a copy of it in IRAM at address 0x40000000.
