Fix swap status control

This fixes two issues related to swap status control:

1. During a swap, the status was written offset by one, because it was
   being incremented before it was written to flash. With the increment
   happening early the offset was calculated always one position after
   where it should be, which would leave the first status index free,
   and override the last one (worst case scenario).
2. When an image is too big it requires the swap status to be
   temporarily stored on scratch, to allow the last sector on the
   primary slot to be erased. The status is written to scratch for 2
   status updates, and afterwards copied back to the primary slot, which
   then receives future status updates. The code that copied the status
   back from scratch to the primary slot was erroneously copying the space
   of 3 status writes, which would result in a write over non-erased area
   for the third byte.

mcuboot

Coverity Scan Build Status Build/Test

This is mcuboot, version 1.3.1

MCUboot is a secure bootloader for 32-bit MCUs. The goal of MCUboot is to define a common infrastructure for the bootloader, system flash layout on microcontroller systems, and to provide a secure bootloader that enables easy software upgrade.

MCUboot is operating system and hardware independent and relies on hardware porting layers from the operating system it works with. Currently, mcuboot works with both the Apache Mynewt, and Zephyr operating systems, but more ports are planned in the future. RIOT is currently supported as a boot target with a complete port planned.

Using MCUboot

Instructions for different operating systems can be found here:

Roadmap

The issues being planned and worked on are tracked using GitHub issues. To participate please visit:

MCUBoot GitHub Issues

Issues were previously tracked on MCUboot JIRA , but it is now deprecated.

Browsing

Information and documentation on the bootloader are stored within the source.

It was previously also documented on confluence: MCUBoot Confluence however, it is now deprecated and not currently maintained

For more information in the source, here are some pointers:

  • boot/bootutil: The core of the bootloader itself.
  • boot/boot_serial: Support for serial upgrade within the bootloader itself.
  • boot/zephyr: Port of the bootloader to Zephyr
  • boot/mynewt: Mynewt bootloader app
  • imgtool: A tool to securely sign firmware images for booting by mcuboot.
  • sim: A bootloader simulator for testing and regression
