Running mynewt apps with MCUboot
Due to small differences between Mynewt's bundled bootloader and MCUboot,
when building an app that will be run with MCUboot as the bootloader and
which at the same time requires to use newtmgr to manage images, MCUboot
must be added as a new dependency for this app.
First you need to add the repo to your project.yml:
project.repositories:
- mcuboot
repository.mcuboot:
type: github
vers: 0-dev
user: runtimeco
repo: mcuboot
Then update your app's pkg.yml adding the extra dependency:
pkg.deps:
- "@mcuboot/boot/bootutil"
Also remove any dependency on boot/bootutil (mynewt's bundled bootloader)
which might exist.
To configure MCUboot check all the options available in
boot/mynewt/mcuboot_config/syscfg.yml.
Also, MCUboot uses a different image header struct as well as slightly
different TLV structure, so images created by newt have to be generated
in this new format. That is done by passing the extra parameter -2 as in:
newt create-image <target> <version> <pubkey> -2
