Fix running newtmgr when building for mcuboot

This enables mynewt to use mcuboot as a remote repository, which is only
required when using newtmgr to manage images. Since mcuboot has slightly
changed the trailer format, newtmgr built against the bundled mynewt
bootloader writes the magic and flags to the wrong location.

To build a mynewt app the wants to run with mcuboot as the bootloader
and requires newtmgr one needs to change the app's pkg.yml dependencies
as follows:

-    - boot/bootutil
+    - "@mcuboot/boot/bootutil"

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. RIOT is currently supported as a boot target with a complete port planned.

Roadmap

The issues being planned and worked on are tracked on Jira. To participate please visit:

Browsing

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

https://runtimeco.atlassian.net/wiki/discover/all-updates

For more information in the source, here are some pointers:

  • boot/bootutil: The core of the bootloader itself.
  • boot/boot_serial: Support for serial upgrade within the bootloader itself.
  • boot/zephyr: Port of the bootloader to Zephyr
  • boot/mynewt: Mynewt bootloader app
  • imgtool: A tool to securely sign firmware images for booting by mcuboot.
  • sim: A bootloader simulator for testing and regression
