bool bootload_verifyApplication ( uint32_t startAddress )

Verify the application image stored in the Flash memory starting at the address startAddress.

If secure boot is enforced, the function will only return true if the cryptographic signature of the application is valid. Else, the application is verified according to the signature type defined in the ApplicationProperties_t structure embedded in the application. Silicon Labs wireless stacks declare this structure. Applications, which are not using a full wireless stack may need to instantiate the structure.

Examples of results when secure boot is not enforced:

App has no signature: Valid if initial stack pointer and program counter have reasonable values
App has CRC checksum: Valid if checksum is valid
App has ECDSA signature: Valid if ECDSA signature is valid.

When secure boot is enforced, only ECDSA-signed applications with a valid signature are considered valid.

Parameters

[in] startAddress Starting address of the application

Returns: True if the image is deemed valid

void bootload_bootloaderCallback	(	uint32_t	`offset,`
		uint8_t	`data[],`
		size_t	`length,`
		void *	`context`
	)

Bootloader upgrade callback implementation.

Parameters

`offset`	Offset of bootloader data (byte counter incrementing from 0)
`data`	Raw bootloader data
`length`	Size in bytes of raw bootloader data.
`context`	A context variable defined by the implementation that is implementing this callback.

void bootload_applicationCallback	(	uint32_t	`address,`
		uint8_t	`data[],`
		size_t	`length,`
		void *	`context`
	)

Image data callback implementation.

Parameters

`address`	Address (inside the raw image) the data starts at
`data`	Raw image data
`length`	Size in bytes of raw image data. Always constrained to a multiple of four.
`context`	A context variable defined by the implementation that is implementing this callback.

bool bootloader_enforceSecureBoot ( void )

Indicates whether the bootloader should enforce a secure boot.

Returns: True if secure boot is to be enforced.

bool bootload_commitBootloaderUpgrade	(	uint32_t	`upgradeAddress,`
		uint32_t	`size`
	)

Perform a bootloader upgrade using the upgrade image present at upgradeAddress with length size.

If the bootloader upgrade process starts successfully, this function does not return and execution will resume from the reset handler of the upgraded bootloader.

Parameters

[in]	`upgradeAddress`	The starting address of the upgrade image
[in]	`size`	The length of the upgrade image in bytes

Returns: False if the bootloader upgrade process didn't start

bool bootload_checkSeUpgradeVersion ( uint32_t upgradeVersion )

Check that an SE upgrade with a given version number is allowed to be installed.

This will only be true if the upgrade version is higher than the running version.

Parameters

[in] upgradeVersion The version of the SE upgrade image

Returns: True if the SE upgrade image should be installed

bool bootload_commitSeUpgrade ( uint32_t upgradeAddress )

Perform an SE upgrade using the upgrade image present at upgradeAddress.

If the SE upgrade process starts successfully, this function does not return and execution will resume from the reset handler after the SE upgrade is complete.

Parameters

[in] upgradeAddress The starting address of the upgrade image.

Returns: False if the SE upgrade process didn't start.
