CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT¶

MCUboot bootloader support

Type: bool

Help¶

This option signifies that the target uses MCUboot as a bootloader,
or in other words that the image is to be chain-loaded by MCUboot.
This sets several required build system and Device Tree options in
order for the image generated to be bootable using the MCUboot open
source bootloader. Currently this includes:

  * Setting ROM_START_OFFSET to a default value that allows space
    for the MCUboot image header
  * Activating SW_VECTOR_RELAY_CLIENT on Cortex-M0
    (or Armv8-M baseline) targets with no built-in vector relocation
    mechanisms

By default, this option instructs Zephyr to initialize the core
architecture HW registers during boot, when this is supported by
the application. This removes the need by MCUboot to reset
the core registers' state itself.
