Application Note: The bootchain of the OS is the sequence of software, to included the OS loader, the kernel, system drivers or modules, and system files, which ultimately result in loading the OS. The first part of the OS, usually referred to as the first-stage bootloader, must be loaded by the platform. Assessing its integrity, while critical, is the platform's responsibility; and therefore outside the scope of this protection profile. All software after the initial program is within scope
I assume the "All software after the initial program" means after the initial bootloader? why the name change in the last sentence?
