doc: design: fixes and improvements for swap status definition The swap status field definition claims image data are swapped one sector at a time, but that's not true: image data are actually swapped around in increments equal to the size of the scratch area, which can be multiple sectors in length. Its contents are also misleading in claiming that it's a series of single byte records, which ignores padding when min-write-size > 1. It also assumes the reader knows how images are swapped, but that's not explained until later on in the document. Finally, the paragraph is in a list of "definitions" of the image trailer's fields, but it doesn't actually define the contents; it's just a high level description of what the field is for. Fix all of these issues by re-working this paragraph. Signed-off-by: Marti Bolivar <marti.bolivar@linaro.org>
This is mcuboot, version 0.9.0
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. RIOT is currently supported as a boot target with a complete port planned.
The issues being planned and worked on are tracked on Jira. To participate please visit:

Information and documentation on the bootloader is stored within the source, and on confluence:
