# mcuboot
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
MCUBoot is a secure bootloader for 32-bit MCUs. The goal of MCUBoot is to
|
|
define a common infrastructure for the bootloader, system flash layout on
|
|
microcontroller systems, and to provide a secure bootloader that enables
|
|
easy software upgrade.
|
|
|
|
MCUboot is operating system and hardware independent, and relies on
|
|
hardware porting layers from the operating system it works with. Currently
|
|
mcuboot works with both the Apache Mynewt, and Zephyr operating systems, but
|
|
more ports are planned in the future.
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
The MCUBoot project was originally taken from the Apache Mynewt operating system,
|
|
which had secure boot and software upgrade functionality instrinsic to it. Currently
|
|
development is heads down on a first release of MCUboot that works across both the
|
|
Zephyr operating system and Apache Mynewt operating system.
