>the base microcode loaded from ROM is what validates the signature on any ACMs that are loaded from flash.
Base microcode is not loaded, executed or modifiable. It is physically embedded in the CPU silicon as hardwired logic, commonly implemented as a hardwired finite-state machine. It functions as a control circuit that responds to input signals with predetermined outputs, without the need for interpretation or instruction execution. Among its functions is the validation of ACMs using integrated cryptographic modules.
>It is not simply an instruction lookup table, it is software.
Not being simply an instruction lookup table does not make the base microcode software; it indicates that it is complex circuitry.
>it is software.
Evidently, it is not.
