Hello everybody, we have had lean to not propose another small systems boot solution and we have discussed that in Elektroline team a lot. @michallenc has even downloaded whole MCU boot with Zephyr dependencies (which pulls all possible HAL invention from many different companies) to test framework etc. But reaction of MCUboot maintainers was far from promising that they ever take our arguments, we have plenty of external Flash but writes are slow and Flash can have (in NAND case) even 2 MB erase pages, i.e. bigger than whole internal Flash etc... So the end is solution (backup plan) which has no dependencies outside of NuttX. And I like result much more than MCU boot after this refinement boot. We have lot of discussions still and yes, it is disadvantage that there is change of the header format at this moment. But I think that it worth to be provided in this newer version which is optimized to be easier for updates, only the 1:1 copy of the image to the right of two OTAs is required to update image and then single confirm command in the test run... I would propose to push update even into new prepared release. May it be whole NXboot should be under experimental option for now, and as it is tested between releases it can be declared as stable for next one. Image header has mechanism of major and minor version now so I think that this updated format can server for some years and can be extended with backward compatibility. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
