This refactoring of the chip specific bootloader creates the internal boot instance and aligned
buffer in the prepare stage, so that they are automatically dropped after. This unlocks a use
case where peripherals owning the flash need to be Drop'ed before load() happens.
* Allow manipulating state without accessing DFU partition.
* Provide aligned buffer when creating updater to reduce potential wrong parameters passed.
It seems as if the arm compiler can does not care about whether the bootloader symbols are undefined if the default() function is never used. The x64 compiler does care however, so this change ensures that we can instantiate the types from tests.
* Remove the need for generic const expressions and use buffers provided in the flash config.
* Extend embedded-storage traits to simplify generics.
* Document all public APIs
* Add toplevel README
* Expose AlignedBuffer type for convenience.
* Update examples
It currently contains whoever was first to write some code for the crate,
even if many more people have contributed to it later.
The field is "sort of" deprecated, it was made optional recently:
https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3052-optional-authors-field.html
Due the the reasons listed there I believe removing it is better than
setting it to generic fluff like "The Embassy contributors".
* Less generics on bootloader. Keep PAGE_SIZE as a common multiple of
DFU and ACTIVE page sizes.
* Document restriction
* Add unit tests for different page sizes
* Add flash drivers for L0, L1, L4, WB and WL. Not tested for WB, but
should be similar to WL.
* Add embassy-boot-stm32 for bootloading on STM32.
* Add flash examples and bootloader examples
* Update stm32-data
* Add FlashProvider and FlashConfig traits to define flash
characteristics
* Use traits in bootloader to retrieve flash handles and for
copying data between flash instances
* Add convenience implementations for using a single flash instance.
Embassy-boot is a simple bootloader that works together with an
application to provide firmware update capabilities with a minimal risk.
The bootloader consists of a platform-independent part, which implements
the swap algorithm, and a platform-dependent part (currently only for
nRF) that provides addition functionality such as watchdog timers
softdevice support.
