Users Guide
• If both filename.sha256 and filename.md5 are present, SHA256 validation has a higher priority compared with MD5
validation.
• If filename.sha256 or filename.md5 alone is present, the corresponding type of validation is completed.
b When you enable FIPs mode:
• MD5 validation is not used. BMP checks only for the filename.sha256 and not filename.md5.
• If filename.sha256 is present, it uses SHA256 validation or the image downloads without SHA256 validation.
