Get information about the storage plugin.

Parameters
[out] info Information about the storage plugin.
int32_t bootloader_getStorageSlotInfo ( uint32_t slotId,
BootloaderStorageSlot_t * slot
)

Get information about a storage slot.

Parameters
[in] slotId ID of the slot to get information about
[out] slot Information about the storage slot
Returns
BOOTLOADER_OK on success, else error code in BOOTLOADER_ERROR_STORAGE_BASE range
int32_t bootloader_readStorage ( uint32_t slotId,
uint32_t offset,
uint8_t * buffer,
size_t length
)

Read data from a storage slot.

Parameters
[in] slotId ID of the slot
[in] offset Offset into the slot to start reading from
[out] buffer Buffer to store the data
[in] length Amount of data to read
Returns
BOOTLOADER_OK on success, else error code in BOOTLOADER_ERROR_STORAGE_BASE range
int32_t bootloader_writeStorage ( uint32_t slotId,
uint32_t offset,
uint8_t * buffer,
size_t length
)

Write data to a storage slot.

Note
If DMA-based MSC write is enabled on the bootloader, writing data from flash to flash is not supported on Series-1 devices.
Parameters
[in] slotId ID of the slot
[in] offset Offset into the slot to start writing to
[in] buffer Buffer to read data to write from
[in] length Amount of data to write
Returns
BOOTLOADER_OK on success, else error code in BOOTLOADER_ERROR_STORAGE_BASE range
int32_t bootloader_eraseWriteStorage ( uint32_t slotId,
uint32_t offset,
uint8_t * buffer,
size_t length
)

Erase and write data to a storage slot.

Note
This function automatically erases the following Flash page whenever the written data crosses a page boundary. In other words, the function cannot be used to perform multiple sequential writes to the same address range unless the range starts at a page boundary. For a sequential write, the first call to this function should have a start address at a page boundary. Otherwise, the corresponding page of the starting address needs to be erased explicitly. If DMA-based MSC write is enabled on the bootloader, writing data from flash to flash is not supported on Series-1 devices.
Parameters
[in] slotId ID of the slot
[in] offset Offset into the slot to start writing to
[in] buffer Buffer to read data to write from
[in] length Amount of data to write
Returns
BOOTLOADER_OK on success, else error code in BOOTLOADER_ERROR_STORAGE_BASE range
int32_t bootloader_eraseStorageSlot ( uint32_t slotId )

Erase all contents of a storage slot.

Parameters
[in] slotId ID of the slot

int32_t bootloader_setImageToBootload ( int32_t slotId )

Set a single image to attempt to bootload.

Parameters
[in] slotId ID of the slot
Returns
BOOTLOADER_OK on success, else error code in BOOTLOADER_ERROR_BOOTLOAD_BASE range
int32_t bootloader_initVerifyImage ( uint32_t slotId,
void * context,
size_t contextSize
)

Initialize image verification.

Initialize verification of an upgrade image stored in a bootloader storage slot.

Note
This function must be called before calling bootloader_continueVerifyImage in a loop.
The context pointer must point to memory allocated by the caller. The required size of this context may depend on the version of the bootloader. The required size for the bootloader associated with this version of the application interface is given by the define BOOTLOADER_STORAGE_VERIFICATION_CONTEXT_SIZE .
Instead of calling bootloader_initVerifyImage followed by bootloader_continueVerifyImage , call bootloader_verifyImage if no time-critical tasks are needed and sufficient stack space is available for the automatically allocated context. The purpose of the init-and-continue functions is to allow the caller to service system needs during verification.
Parameters
[in] slotId ID of the slot to check.
context Pointer to memory used to hold the parser context.
[in] contextSize Size of the context. An error is returned if the supplied context is too small.
Returns
BOOTLOADER_OK if the image parser was initialized, else error code.
int32_t bootloader_continueVerifyImage ( void * context,
BootloaderParserCallback_t metadataCallback
)

Continue image verification.

Continue verification of an upgrade image stored in a bootloader storage slot.

Note
This function must be called in a loop until anything other than BOOTLOADER_ERROR_PARSE_CONTINUE is returned.
bootloader_initVerifyImage must be called before calling this function to reset the parser.
Instead of calling bootloader_initVerifyImage followed by bootloader_continueVerifyImage , call bootloader_verifyImage if no time-critical tasks are needed. The purpose of the init-and-continue functions is to allow the caller to service system needs during verification.
Parameters
context Pointer to a context structure that has been initialized by calling bootloader_initVerifyImage()
[in] metadataCallback Function pointer which gets called when the binary metadata in the image is currently verified. Set to NULL if not required.
Returns
BOOTLOADER_ERROR_PARSE_CONTINUE if parsing was successful, and the parser expects more data. BOOTLOADER_ERROR_PARSE_SUCCESS if the parser has successfully parsed the image and it passes verification. Else error code.
int32_t bootloader_verifyImage ( uint32_t slotId,
BootloaderParserCallback_t metadataCallback
)

Verify that the image in the given storage slot is valid.

Parameters
[in] slotId ID of the slot to check
[in] metadataCallback Function pointer which gets called when binary metadata is present in the storage slot. Set to NULL if not required.
Note
This function allocates a context structure of the size given by BOOTLOADER_STORAGE_VERIFICATION_CONTEXT_SIZE on the caller's stack. To manage memory and allocate the context elsewhere (on the heap, as a global variable, and so on), use bootloader_initVerifyImage and bootloader_continueVerifyImage functions instead.
Returns
BOOTLOADER_OK if the image is valid, else error code.
int32_t bootloader_getImageInfo ( uint32_t slotId,
ApplicationData_t * appInfo,
uint32_t * bootloaderVersion
)

Get application and bootloader upgrade metadata from the storage slot.

Parameters
[in] slotId ID of the slot to check
[out] appInfo Pointer to ApplicationData_t struct
[out] bootloaderVersion Pointer to an integer representing bootloader version
Returns
BOOTLOADER_OK if metadata was filled successfully
bool bootloader_storageIsBusy ( void )

Check whether the bootloader storage is busy.

Returns
True if the storage is busy
int32_t bootloader_readRawStorage ( uint32_t address,
uint8_t * buffer,
size_t length
)

Parameters
[in] address Address to start reading from
[out] buffer Buffer to store the data
[in] length Amount of data to read

int32_t bootloader_writeRawStorage ( uint32_t address,
uint8_t * buffer,
size_t length
)

Write data to storage.

Note
If DMA-based MSC write is enabled on the bootloader, writing data from flash to flash is not supported on Series-1 devices.
Parameters
[in] address Address to start writing to
[in] buffer Buffer to read data to write from
[in] length Amount of data to write
Returns
BOOTLOADER_OK on success, else error code in BOOTLOADER_ERROR_STORAGE_BASE range
int32_t bootloader_eraseRawStorage ( uint32_t address,
size_t length
)
