Detailed Description
Device Firmware Update module type and function declaration for init packet handling.
This header contains basic functionality for performing safety checks on software updates for nRF51 based devices. It provides a skeleton for pre-checking an init packet to ensure the following image is compatible with this device. A safety check should always be performed to prevent accidental flashing of unsupported applications or a wrong combination of application and SoftDevice. The device information contains information such as:
- Device type (2 bytes), for example Heart Rate. The device type is a number defined by the customer. It can be located in UICR or FICR.
- Device revision (2 bytes), for example major revision 1, minor revision 0. The device revision is a number defined by the customer. It can be located in UICR or FICR.
- List of SoftDevices supported by this application, for example 0x0049 = S110v6_0_0 0xFFFE = S110 development (any SoftDevice accepted),
- CRC or hash of firmware image
- Note
- This module does not support security features such as image signing, but the corresponding implementation allows for such extensions. If the init packet is signed by a trusted source, it must be decrypted before it can be processed.
Macro Definition Documentation
| #define DFU_DEVICE_INFO (( dfu_device_info_t *) DFU_DEVICE_INFO_BASE ) |
The memory mapped structure for device information data.
| #define DFU_DEVICE_INFO_BASE |
The device information base address inside of UICR.
| #define DFU_DEVICE_REVISION_EMPTY ((uint16_t)0xFFFF) |
Mask indicating no device revision is present in UICR. 0xFFFF is default flash pattern when not written with data.
| #define DFU_DEVICE_TYPE_EMPTY ((uint16_t)0xFFFF) |
Mask indicating no device type is present in UICR. 0xFFFF is default flash pattern when not written with data.
| #define DFU_SOFTDEVICE_ANY ((uint16_t)0xFFFE) |
Mask indicating that any SoftDevice is allowed for updating this application. Allows for easy development. Not to be used in production images.
| #define UICR_CUSTOMER_DEVICE_INFO_OFFSET 0x0 |
The device info offset can be modified to place the device info settings at a different location. If the customer reserved UICR location is used for other application specific data, the offset must be updated to avoid collision with that data.[DFU UICR DEV offset] Device info offset inside the customer UICR reserved area. Customers may change this value to place the device information in a user-preferred location.
| #define UICR_CUSTOMER_RESERVED_OFFSET 0x80 |
[DFU UICR DEV offset] Customer reserved area in the UICR. The area from UICR + 0x80 is reserved for customer usage.
Function Documentation
| uint32_t dfu_init_postvalidate | ( | uint8_t * | p_image , |
| uint32_t | image_len | ||
| ) |
DFU postvalidate call for post-checking the received image using the init packet.
Post-validation can verify the integrity check the firmware image received before activating the image. Checks performed can be:
- A simple CRC as shown in the corresponding implementation of this API in the file dfu_init_template.c
- A hash for better verification of the image.
- A signature to ensure the image originates from a trusted source. Checks are intended to be expanded for customer-specific requirements.
- Parameters
-
[in] p_image Pointer to the received image. The init data provided in the call dfu_init_prevalidate will be used for validating the image. [in] image_len Length of the image data.
- Return values
-
NRF_SUCCESS If the post-validation succeeded, that meant the integrity of the image has been verified and the image originates from a trusted source (signing). NRF_ERROR_INVALID_DATA If the post-validation failed, that meant the post check of the image failed such as the CRC is not matching the image transfered or the verification of the image fails (signing).
| uint32_t dfu_init_prevalidate | ( | uint8_t * | p_init_data , |
| uint32_t | init_data_len | ||
| ) |
DFU prevalidate call for pre-checking the received init packet.
Pre-validation will safety check the firmware image to be transfered in second stage. The function currently checks the device type, device revision, application firmware version, and supported SoftDevices. More checks should be added according to customer-specific requirements.
- Parameters
-
[in] p_init_data Pointer to the init packet. If the init packet is encrypted or signed, it must first be decrypted before being checked. [in] init_data_len Length of the init data.
- Return values
-
NRF_SUCCESS If the pre-validation succeeded, that means the image is supported by the device and it is considered to come from a trusted source (signing). NRF_ERROR_INVALID_DATA If the pre-validation failed, that means the image is not supported by the device or comes from an un-trusted source (signing). NRF_ERROR_INVALID_LENGTH If the size of the init packet is not within the limits of the init packet handler.
