Zpal-bootloader#

Defines a platform abstraction layer for the Z-Wave bootloader.

How to use the bootloader API

The ZPAL bootloader API is required if an application would like to store and use a new firmware image.

zpal_bootloader_init() and zpal_bootloader_get_info() must be implemented as Z-Wave always invokes these. The remaining API functions are optional in case a bootloader is not present in the ZPAL implementation.

The following outlines an example of use:

  1. To enable the bootloader functionality, invoke zpal_bootloader_init().

  2. zpal_bootloader_get_info() must be invoked to check whether a bootloader is present.

  3. For every received fragment, zpal_bootloader_write_data() must be invoked to store the new firmware image.

  4. When all fragments are received, zpal_bootloader_verify_image() must be invoked to verify the integrity of the received firmware image.

  5. If the received firmware image is valid, invoke zpal_bootloader_reboot_and_install() install and boot from the new firmware image.

Requirements:

  • The ZPAL bootloader requires that a storage is available for storing a received firmware image. Z-Wave has no requirements on how and where the image is stored.

Function Documentation#

zpal_bootloader_get_info#

void zpal_bootloader_get_info (zpal_bootloader_info_t * info)

//zpal-bootloader-info-version

Parameters
[out]info

Pointer to the bootloader information struct.

Get information about the bootloader on this device. The information returned is fetched from the main bootloader information table.

zpal_bootloader_init#

zpal_status_t zpal_bootloader_init (void )

Initialize components of the bootloader so the app can use the interface.

Parameters
N/A

This typically includes initializing serial peripherals for communication with external SPI flashes, and so on.

Returns

zpal_bootloader_reboot_and_install#

void zpal_bootloader_reboot_and_install (void )

Reboot into the bootloader to install something.

Parameters
N/A

If there is a storage component and a slot is marked for bootload, install the image in that slot after verifying it. If a communication component is present, open the communication channel and receive an image to be installed.

Parameters
[in]updated_successfully

Set to true if update was successful, false otherwise. Valid only when it's the first boot.

Returns

  • True if it's the first boot, false otherwise.
