Downgrade protection using |NSIB| with MCUboot
114+
==============================================
115+
116+
The One Time Programmable (OTP) storage area has limited space and is designed to accommodate only one image.
117+
This design means that hardware downgrade protection can be used by the |NSIB| or MCUboot, but not both simultaneously.
118+
When the |NSIB| is enabled, MCUboot cannot utilize hardware downgrade protection.
119+
However, MCUboot can still use :ref:`software downgrade protection <ug_fw_update_downgrade_protection_sw>` even while hardware downgrade protection is active for the |NSIB|.
