David Brown586c84e2019-12-02 12:02:59 -070011MCUboot is a secure bootloader for 32-bit MCUs. The goal of MCUboot is to
Fabio Utzig811205e2017-08-10 14:55:27 -030012define a common infrastructure for the bootloader, system flash layout on
13microcontroller systems, and to provide a secure bootloader that enables
David Brown586c84e2019-12-02 12:02:59 -070014simple software upgrades.

Sigvart M. Hovland68b30532018-09-29 18:58:55 +020016MCUboot is operating system and hardware independent and relies on
David Brown586c84e2019-12-02 12:02:59 -070017hardware porting layers from the operating. Currently, mcuboot works
18with both the Apache Mynewt and Zephyr operating systems, but more
19ports are planned in the future. RIOT is currently supported as a boot
Fabio Utzig756ca862017-07-20 13:38:22 -030020target with a complete port planned.
