The correct name for the PS3 keys that were released is "bootldr keys", not "lv0 keys": named after the verifier, not what is verified.

@marcan42 no, the boot loader is inside the Cell's ROM and is PPC (see spec) and it's the one that loads the SPU isolated lv0ldr.
@KaKaRoToKS I've never heard of there being a PPU ROM stage before that (not that it makes a huge difference), source?

@marcan42 I haven't done the research myself, but search 'ROM' in : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCUQFjAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww-01.ibm.com%2Fchips%2Ftechlib%2Ftechlib.nsf%2Ftechdocs%2FAF7832F379790768872572D10047E52B%2F%24file%2FCellBE_HIG_65nm_v1.01_8Jun2007.pdf&ei=VaeJUM3DKJS88wT3sYCoBQ&usg=AFQjCNGpCMqTa4bxx2UyvEaa-o3oq-ifEA … specifically pages 57, 59 and 61.Thanks.

@marcan42 it talks about PPE ROM code doing the initialization and loading the SPE code (how would the Cell know where to fetch lv0ldr from) -
@KaKaRoToKS all of that stuff is for nonsecure boot, and relates to an external ROM. It doesn't apply for the PS3.

@marcan42 and yeah, it doesn't make any difference, but we've started saying lv0ldr and bootldr to differenciate the 2 a long time ago... -
@KaKaRoToKS When secure boot is enabled, the SPE starts up in isolated mode from its internal ROM, and fetches bootldr from "ROM" (Flash).
