I think the timeout(40ms) was wrong information. (We do have that, but we will no longer use it on Chrome projects)
As we encountered some problem on Chrome project of big sensor solution, and we already have resolved by modify bootcode timeout value.

Precisely speaking, the 40ms bootcode is special solution for specific project, and general solution is the 100ms bootcode.
So we have replaced 40ms bootcode with 100ms bootcode. That’s what our firmware engineer told me.
