2Secure boot

Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +02004For secure devices it is security critical to enforce firmware authenticity to
5protect against execution of malicious software. This is implemented by building
6a trust chain where each step in the execution chain authenticates the next
7step before execution. The chain of trust in based on a "Root of Trust" which
8is implemented using asymmetric cryptography. The Root of Trust is a combination
9of an immutable bootloader and a public key (ROTPK).
10
Tamas Ban07a11a22019-09-23 13:54:15 +010011.. Warning::
12 In order to implement a proper chain of trust functionality, it is
13 mandatory that the first stage bootloader and ROTPK is stored in an
14 **immutable** way. To achieve this the bootloader code must be stored and
15 executed from ROM or such part of flash memory which supports write
16 protection. ROTPK can be stored in a one-time-programmable (OTP) memory. If
17 the SoC has a built-in BL1 (immutable) bootloader and the immutability of
18 TF-M secure boot code is not guaranteed then TF-M secure boot code must be
19 authenticated by BL1 bootloader before execution. If immutability of root
20 of trust (first stage bootloader + ROTPK) is not ensured then there is a
21 risk that the secure boot process could be bypassed, which could lead to
22 arbitrary code execution on the device. Current TF-M secure boot code is
23 intended to be a second stage bootloader, therefore it requires
24 authentication before execution. If TF-M secure boot code is used as a first
25 stage bootloader then it must be stored according to the above requirements.

28Second stage bootloader in TF-M
29*******************************
Balint Matyi69e2d2e2020-07-08 10:53:54 +010030By default, the MCUboot project from
Tamas Banc5b2f2b2020-11-12 09:47:05 +000031`GitHub <https://github.com/mcu-tools/mcuboot>`__ is used as the secure
Balint Matyi69e2d2e2020-07-08 10:53:54 +010032bootloader in TF-M. The repository is going to be automatically downloaded by
33CMake. The version downloaded can be controlled by the ``MCUBOOT_VERSION``
34CMake variable. If you wish to use a locally downloaded copy, the CMake variable
35``MCUBOOT_PATH`` can be set to its location. This document contains information
36about how MCUboot has been integrated to TF-M. For further information about
37MCUboot design please refer to the `MCUBoot homepage <https://www.mcuboot.com/>`__.
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +020038
39Bootloader is started when CPU is released from reset. It runs in secure mode.
40It authenticates the firmware image by hash (SHA-256) and digital signature
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +020041(RSA-3072) validation. Public key, that the checks happens against, can be built
42into the bootloader image or can be provisioned to the SoC during manufacturing.
43Metadata of the image is delivered together with the image itself in a header
44and trailer section. In case of successful authentication, bootloader passes
45execution to the secure image. Execution never returns to bootloader until
46next reset.
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +020047
48A default RSA key pair is stored in the repository, public key is in ``keys.c``
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +010049and private key is in ``root-RSA-3072.pem``.
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +020050
Anton Komlevfb835402022-08-09 13:04:04 +010051.. Danger::
52 DO NOT use the default keys in a production code, they are exclusively
53 for testing!
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +020054
Balint Matyi69e2d2e2020-07-08 10:53:54 +010055The private key must be stored in a safe place outside of the repository.
56``imgtool.py`` (found in the ``scripts`` directory in the MCUBoot repository,
57or installed through the pip package manager) can be used to generate new key
58pairs.

David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +020060The bootloader can handle the secure and non-secure images independently
61(multiple image boot) or together (single image boot). In case of multiple image
62boot they are signed independently with different keys and they can be updated
63separately. In case of single image boot the secure and non-secure image is
64handled as a single blob, therefore they must be contiguous in the device
65memory. In this case they are signed together and also they can be updated only
66together. In order to have the same artefacts at the end of the build regardless
67of how the images are handled (independently or together) the images are always
68concatenated. In case of single image boot they are concatenated first and then
69signed. In case of multiple image boot they are separately signed first and then
70concatenated. Preparation of payload is done by Python scripts:
71``bl2/ext/mcuboot/scripts/``. At the end of a successful build the signed TF-M
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +010072payload can be found in: ``<build_dir>/bin/tfm_s_ns_signed.bin``

75Integration with TF-M
76*********************
77MCUBoot assumes a predefined memory layout which is described below (applicable
David Vincze8bdfc2d2019-03-18 15:49:23 +010078for AN521). It is mandatory to define the primary slot and the secondary slot
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +020079partitions, but their size and location can be changed::

120**************************
121Firmware upgrade operation
122**************************
123MCUBoot handles only the firmware authenticity check after start-up and the
124firmware switch part of the firmware update process. Downloading the new version
David Vincze8a2a4e22019-05-24 10:14:23 +0200125of the firmware is out-of-scope for MCUBoot. MCUBoot supports three different
126ways to switch to the new firmware and it is assumed that firmware images are
127executed-in-place (XIP). The default behaviour is the overwrite-based image
David Vincze8bdfc2d2019-03-18 15:49:23 +0100128upgrade. In this case the active firmware is always executed from the primary
129slot and the secondary slot is a staging area for new images. Before executing
130the new firmware image, the content of the primary slot must be overwritten with
131the content of the secondary slot (the new firmware image). The second option is
132the image swapping strategy when the content of the two memory slots must be
133physically swapped. This needs the scratch area to be defined in the memory
Tamas Ban0bd0dfc2020-09-11 15:25:48 +0100134layout. The third option is the direct execute-in-place version, which
135eliminates the complexity of image swapping and its administration. Active image
136can be executed from either memory slot, but new firmware must be linked to the
137address space of the proper (currently inactive) memory slot.
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +0200138
David Vincze8a2a4e22019-05-24 10:14:23 +0200139Overwrite operation
Tamas Bane7efdc62019-06-05 13:14:52 +0100140===================
David Vincze8bdfc2d2019-03-18 15:49:23 +0100141Active image is stored in the primary slot, and this image is started always by
142the bootloader. Therefore images must be linked to the primary slot. If the
143bootloader finds a valid image in the secondary slot, which is marked for
144upgrade, then the content of the primary slot will be simply overwritten with
145the content of the secondary slot, before starting the new image from the
146primary slot. After the content of the primary slot has been successfully
147overwritten, the header and trailer of the new image in the secondary slot is
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200148erased to prevent the triggering of another unnecessary image upgrade after a
David Vincze8bdfc2d2019-03-18 15:49:23 +0100149restart. The overwrite operation is fail-safe and resistant to power-cut
150failures. For more details please refer to the MCUBoot
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +0200151`documentation <https://www.mcuboot.com/mcuboot/design.html>`__.
152
David Vincze8a2a4e22019-05-24 10:14:23 +0200153Swapping operation
154==================
155This operation can be set with the ``MCUBOOT_UPGRADE_STRATEGY`` compile time
156switch (see `Build time configuration`_). With swapping image upgrade strategy
David Vincze8bdfc2d2019-03-18 15:49:23 +0100157the active image is also stored in the primary slot and it will always be
158started by the bootloader. If the bootloader finds a valid image in the
159secondary slot, which is marked for upgrade, then contents of the primary slot
160and the secondary slot will be swapped, before starting the new image from the
161primary slot. Scratch area is used as a temporary storage place during image
162swapping. Update mark from the secondary slot is removed when the swapping is
David Vincze8a2a4e22019-05-24 10:14:23 +0200163successful. The boot loader can revert the swapping as a fall-back mechanism to
164recover the previous working firmware version after a faulty update. The swap
165operation is fail-safe and resistant to power-cut failures. For more details
166please refer to the MCUBoot
167`documentation <https://www.mcuboot.com/mcuboot/design.html>`__.
168
169.. Note::
170
171 After a successful image upgrade the firmware can mark itself as "OK" at
172 runtime by setting the image_ok flag in the flash. When this happens, the
173 swap is made "permanent" and MCUBoot will then still choose to run it
174 during the next boot. Currently TF-M does not set the image_ok flag,
175 therefore the bootloader will always perform a "revert" (swap the images
176 back) during the next boot.
177
Tamas Ban0bd0dfc2020-09-11 15:25:48 +0100178Direct execute-in-place operation
179=================================
David Vincze8a2a4e22019-05-24 10:14:23 +0200180This operation can be set with the ``MCUBOOT_UPGRADE_STRATEGY`` compile time
Tamas Ban0bd0dfc2020-09-11 15:25:48 +0100181switch (see `Build time configuration`_). When enabling direct-xip operation
David Vincze8a2a4e22019-05-24 10:14:23 +0200182then the active image flag is moved between slots during firmware upgrade. If
183firmware is executed-in-place (XIP), then two firmware images must be generated.
David Vincze8bdfc2d2019-03-18 15:49:23 +0100184One of them is linked to be executed from the primary slot memory region and the
185other from the secondary slot. The firmware upgrade client, which downloads the
186new image, must be aware, which slot hosts the active firmware and which acts as
187a staging area and it is responsible for downloading the proper firmware image.
188At boot time MCUBoot inspects the version number in the image header and passes
189execution to the newer firmware version. New image must be marked for upgrade
190which is automatically done by Python scripts at compile time. Image
191verification is done the same way in all operational modes. If new image fails
192during authentication then MCUBoot erases the memory slot and starts the other
193image, after successful authentication.
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +0200194
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +0100195To select which slot the image is to be executed from, set
196``MCUBOOT_EXECUTION_SLOT`` to the desired index. It is suggested that you create
197two build directories when building images using this mode, as intermediate
198dependencies cannot be reused due to changes in the flash layout.

201
Tamas Ban0bd0dfc2020-09-11 15:25:48 +0100202 Only single image boot is supported with direct-xip upgrade mode.

Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +0200204RAM Loading firmware upgrade
205============================
Minos Galanakisb00faed2021-03-11 10:11:34 +0000206Musca-S supports an image upgrade mode that is separate to the other (overwrite,
Tamas Banf4023f32020-09-16 11:02:52 +0100207swapping and dirext-xip) modes. This is the ``RAM load`` mode (please refer
Tamas Ban0bd0dfc2020-09-11 15:25:48 +0100208to the table below). Like the direct-xip mode, this selects the newest image
David Vincze8a2a4e22019-05-24 10:14:23 +0200209by reading the image version numbers in the image headers, but instead of
210executing it in place, the newest image is copied to RAM for execution. The load
211address, the location in RAM where the image is copied to, is stored in the
212image header.
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +0200213
214Summary of different modes for image upgrade
215============================================
216Different implementations of the image upgrade operation (whether through
Tamas Ban0bd0dfc2020-09-11 15:25:48 +0100217overwriting, swapping, direct-xip or loading into RAM and executing from
David Vincze8a2a4e22019-05-24 10:14:23 +0200218there) are supported by the platforms. The table below shows which of these

284Multiple image boot
285*******************
286It is possible to update the firmware images independently to support the
287scenario when secure and non-secure images are provided by different vendors.
288Multiple image boot is supported only together with the overwrite and swap
289firmware upgrade modes.
290
291It is possible to describe the dependencies of the images on each other in
292order to avoid a faulty upgrade when incompatible versions would be installed.
293These dependencies are part of the image manifest area.
294The dependencies are composed from two parts:
295
296 - **Image identifier:** The number of the image which the current image (whose
297 manifest area contains the dependency entry) depends on. The image identifier
298 starts from 0.
299
300 - **Minimum version:** The minimum version of other image must be present on
301 the device by the end of the upgrade (both images might be updated at the
302 same time).
303
304Dependencies can be added to the images at compile time with the following
305compile time switches:
306
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +0100307 - ``MCUBOOT_S_IMAGE_MIN_VER`` It is added to the non-secure image and specifies the
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200308 minimum required version of the secure image.
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +0100309 - ``MCUBOOT_NS_IMAGE_MIN_VER`` It is added to the secure image and specifies the
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200310 minimum required version of the non-secure image.
311
312Example of how to provide the secure image minimum version::

337Build time configuration
338************************
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +0100339MCUBoot related compile time switches can be set by cmake variables.
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +0200340
341- BL2 (default: True):
342 - **True:** TF-M built together with bootloader. MCUBoot is executed after
343 reset and it authenticates TF-M and starts secure code.
344 - **False:** TF-M built without bootloader. Secure image linked to the
345 beginning of the device memory and executed after reset. If it is false
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200346 then using any of the further compile time switches is invalid.
David Vincze8a2a4e22019-05-24 10:14:23 +0200347- MCUBOOT_UPGRADE_STRATEGY (default: "OVERWRITE_ONLY"):
348 - **"OVERWRITE_ONLY":** Default firmware upgrade operation with overwrite.
Michel Jaouen4f342a42021-12-22 17:23:58 +0100349 - **"SWAP_USING_SCRATCH":** Activate swapping firmware upgrade operation
350 with a scratch area in flash
351 - **"SWAP_USING_MOVE":** Activate swapping firmware upgrade operation
352 without a scratch area in flash
Tamas Ban0bd0dfc2020-09-11 15:25:48 +0100353 - **"DIRECT_XIP":** Activate direct execute-in-place firmware upgrade
354 operation.
Tamas Banf4023f32020-09-16 11:02:52 +0100355 - **"RAM_LOAD":** Activate RAM loading firmware upgrade operation, where
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200356 the latest image is copied to RAM and runs from there instead of being
David Vincze8a2a4e22019-05-24 10:14:23 +0200357 executed in-place.
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +0100358- MCUBOOT_SIGNATURE_TYPE (default: RSA):
359 - **RSA:** Image is signed with RSA algorithm
360- MCUBOOT_SIGNATURE_KEY_LEN (default: 3072):
361 - **2048:** Image is signed with 2048 bit key.
362 - **3072:** Image is signed with 3072 bit key.
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200363- MCUBOOT_IMAGE_NUMBER (default: 2):
364 - **1:** Single image boot, secure and non-secure images are signed and
365 updated together.
366 - **2:** Multiple image boot, secure and non-secure images are signed and
367 updatable independently.
368- MCUBOOT_HW_KEY (default: True):
369 - **True:** The hash of public key is provisioned to the SoC and the image
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +0100370 manifest contains the whole public key (imgtool uses
371 ``--public_key_format=full``). MCUBoot validates the key before using it
372 for firmware authentication, it calculates the hash of public key from the
373 manifest and compare against the retrieved key-hash from the hardware.
374 This way MCUBoot is independent from the public key(s). Key(s) can be
375 provisioned any time and by different parties.
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200376 - **False:** The whole public key is embedded to the bootloader code and the
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +0100377 image manifest contains only the hash of the public key (imgtool uses
378 ``--public_key_format=hash``). MCUBoot validates the key before using it
379 for firmware authentication, it calculates the hash of built-in public key
380 and compare against the retrieved key-hash from the image manifest. After
381 this the bootloader can verify that the image was signed with a private
382 key that corresponds to the retrieved key-hash (it can have more public
383 keys embedded in and it may have to look for the matching one). All the
384 public key(s) must be known at MCUBoot build time.
David Vincze73dfbc52019-10-11 13:54:58 +0200385- MCUBOOT_LOG_LEVEL:
386 Can be used to configure the level of logging in MCUBoot. The possible
387 values are the following:
388
Tamas Ban98d16de2020-11-25 12:55:42 +0000389 - **OFF**
390 - **ERROR**
391 - **WARNING**
392 - **INFO**
393 - **DEBUG**
David Vincze73dfbc52019-10-11 13:54:58 +0200394
395 The logging in MCUBoot can be disabled and thus the code size can be reduced
Tamas Ban98d16de2020-11-25 12:55:42 +0000396 by setting it to ``OFF``. Its value depends on the build type. If the build
397 type is ``Debug`` then default value is ``INFO``. In case of different kinds
398 of ``Release`` builds the default value is ``OFF``. The default value can
399 be overridden through the command line or in the CMake GUI regardless of the
400 build type.
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +0100401- MCUBOOT_ENC_IMAGES (default: False):
Balint Matyi5c476312020-03-31 13:15:39 +0100402 - **True:** Adds encrypted image support in the source and encrypts the
403 resulting image using the ``enc-rsa2048-pub.pem`` key found in the MCUBoot
404 repository.
405 - **False:** Doesn't add encrypted image support and doesn't encrypt the
406 image.
407
Balint Matyifb7e60f2020-07-27 10:06:44 +0100408 .. Note::
409 The decryption takes place during the upgrade process, when the images
410 are being moved between the slots. This means that boards that don't
411 already have an image on them with MCUBoot that has been compiled with
412 ``MCUBOOT_ENCRYPT_RSA`` enabled need special treatment. In order to load
413 an encrypted image to such boards, an upgrade needs to be executed. This
414 can be done by using MCUBoot, putting an image in the secondary image
415 area, and setting ``MCUBOOT_ENCRYPT_RSA`` to ``ON``. When using the
416 ``OVERWRITE_ONLY`` upgrade strategy, this is enough. When using
Michel Jaouen4f342a42021-12-22 17:23:58 +0100417 ``SWAP_USING_SCRATCH`` or ``SWAP_USING_MOVE``, an image is needed in
418 the primary image area as well, to trigger the update.
Balint Matyifb7e60f2020-07-27 10:06:44 +0100419
Anton Komlevfb835402022-08-09 13:04:04 +0100420 .. Danger::
Balint Matyifb7e60f2020-07-27 10:06:44 +0100421 DO NOT use the ``enc-rsa2048-pub.pem`` key in production code, it is
422 exclusively for testing!

424Image versioning
425================
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200426An image version number is written to its header by one of the Python scripts,
Tamas Ban0bd0dfc2020-09-11 15:25:48 +0100427and this number is used by the bootloader when the direct execute-in-place or
428the RAM loading mode is enabled. It is also used in case of multiple image boot
429when the bootloader checks the image dependencies if any have been added to the
430images.
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +0200431
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200432The version number of the image (single image boot) can manually be passed in
433through the command line in the cmake configuration step::
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +0200434
Mark Horvathc97eb922022-09-12 11:17:37 +0200435 cmake -DTFM_PLATFORM=arm/musca_b1 -DIMAGE_VERSION_S=1.2.3+4 ..
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +0200436
437Alternatively, the version number can be less specific (e.g 1, 1.2, or 1.2.3),
438where the missing numbers are automatically set to zero. The image version
439number argument is optional, and if it is left out, then the version numbers of
440the image(s) being built in the same directory will automatically change. In
441this case, the last component (the build number) automatically increments from
442the previous one: 0.0.0+1 -> 0.0.0+2, for as many times as the build is re-ran,
443**until a number is explicitly provided**. If automatic versioning is in place
444and then an image version number is provided for the first time, the new number
445will take precedence and be used instead. All subsequent image versions are
446then set to the last number that has been specified, and the build number would
447stop incrementing. Any new version numbers that are provided will overwrite
448the previous one: 0.0.0+1 -> 0.0.0+2. Note: To re-apply automatic image
449versioning, please start a clean build without specifying the image version
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200450number at all. In case of multiple image boot there are separate compile time
451switches for both images to provide their version: ``IMAGE_VERSION_S`` and
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +0100452``IMAGE_VERSION_NS``. These must be used instead of ``IMAGE_VERSION_S``.
Gyorgy Szingdb9783c2019-04-17 21:08:48 +0200453
David Vincze060968d2019-05-23 01:13:14 +0200454Security counter
455================
456Each signed image contains a security counter in its manifest. It is used by the
457bootloader and its aim is to have an independent (from the image version)
458counter to ensure rollback protection by comparing the new image's security
459counter against the original (currently active) image's security counter during
460the image upgrade process. It is added to the manifest (to the TLV area that is
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200461appended to the end of the image) by one of the Python scripts when signing the
David Vincze060968d2019-05-23 01:13:14 +0200462image. The value of the security counter is security critical data and it is in
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200463the integrity protected part of the image. The last valid security counter
464should always be stored in a non-volatile and trusted component of the device
465and its value should always be increased if a security flaw was fixed in the
466current image version. The value of the security counter (single image boot) can
467be specified at build time in the cmake configuration step::
David Vincze060968d2019-05-23 01:13:14 +0200468
Mark Horvathc97eb922022-09-12 11:17:37 +0200469 cmake -DTFM_PLATFORM=arm/musca_b1 -DSECURITY_COUNTER_S=42 ../
David Vincze060968d2019-05-23 01:13:14 +0200470
471The security counter can be independent from the image version, but not
472necessarily. Alternatively, if it is not specified at build time with the
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200473``SECURITY_COUNTER`` option the Python script will automatically generate it
David Vincze060968d2019-05-23 01:13:14 +0200474from the image version number (not including the build number) and this value
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200475will be added to the signed image. In case of multiple image boot there are
476separate compile time switches for both images to provide their security counter
477value: ``SECURITY_COUNTER_S`` and ``SECURITY_COUNTER_NS``. These must be used
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +0100478instead of ``SECURITY_COUNTER_S``. If these are not defined then the security
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200479counter values will be derived from the corresponding image version similar to
480the single image boot.
481
482***************************
483Signing the images manually
484***************************
485Normally the build system handles the signing (computing hash over the image
486and security critical manifest data and then signing the hash) of the firmware
487images. However, the images also can be signed manually by using the ``imgtool``
Balint Matyi69e2d2e2020-07-08 10:53:54 +0100488Python program which is located in the MCUboot repository in the ``scripts``
489folder or can be installed with the pip package manager.
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200490Issue the ``python3 imgtool.py sign --help`` command in the directory for more
491information about the mandatory and optional arguments. The tool takes an image
492in binary or Intel Hex format and adds a header and trailer that MCUBoot is
493expecting. In case of single image boot after a successful build the
Anton Komlevb8e3af02020-08-28 10:23:57 +0100494``tfm_s_ns.bin`` build artifact (contains the concatenated secure and non-secure
David Vincze9c609012019-08-22 13:37:21 +0200495images) must be passed to the script and in case of multiple image boot the
496``tfm_s.bin`` and ``tfm_ns.bin`` binaries can be passed to prepare the signed
497images.

Jamie Fox957fb612022-01-17 17:58:41 +0000765from. The ``S_IMAGE_LOAD_ADDRESS`` macro must be specified in the target
766dependent files, and if multiple image boot is enabled then
767``NS_IMAGE_LOAD_ADDRESS`` must also be defined. For example with Musca-S, its
768``flash_layout.h`` file in the ``platform`` folder should include ``#define

802Integration with Firmware Update service
803****************************************
804The shim layer of the Firmware Update partition calls the APIs in
805bootutil_misc.c to control the image status.
806
Sherry Zhang2da977d2021-05-10 16:59:05 +0800807- Call ``boot_set_pending_multi()`` to make the image as a candidate image for
808 booting.
809- Call ``boot_set_confirmed_multi()`` to make the image as a permanent image.
Sherry Zhang0b9738a2021-01-07 14:26:01 +0800810
811.. Note::
812 Currently, in direct-xip mode and ram-load mode, TF-M cannot get the
813 information of which slot contains the running image from the bootloader.
814 So the Firmware Update partition cannot decide where to write the new
815 image. As a result, the firmware update service is not supported in
816 direct-xip mode and ram-load mode.
