Application update
Description
This folder aims to show how to update your application.
Hardware
This example uses a GAP9_EVK board.
How to run
Build the SDK, the custom SSBL and the first application
Note
A layout is needed in your first application folder. It must contains one SSBL, system tables and your app, at least. See app1/ folder for more details on this layout.
# In $GAP_SDK_HOME folder make clean all WITH_GUI_TOOLS=1
WITH_GUI_TOOLS=1is optional. It will allow you to do the update via the clisender’s GUI. Here we will suppose you do. Otherwise you will need to use the command line. See Host GAP CLI for more details.# In ssbl/ folder gap init gap build
# In app1/ folder gap init gap build
Flash application 1
# In app1/ folder gap flash
Boot
Power-off the board, place a jumper on J10 (BOOT1) to boot from MRAM, and power-on the board.
Enter update process
Reset the board
Update application
Once the max boot counter is reached, the SSBL enters the CLI. You can process to the update.
First, build the second application and get its description:
# In app2/ folder gap init gap build gap flash_dump_app_sections
The last command generates mram-description.json file. The latter is the json that you will give to the clisender.
Then, launch the clisender:
# WITH_GUI_TOOLS must have been set when building the SDK clisenderConnect your device (UART or SPI)
Open SSBL
Partition update by giving the json file freshly generated
Close SSBL
Close the clisender
When closing the clisender, GAP will reboot and you should see your new app running.
Demonstration
Here are the config given to the custom SSBL:
CONFIG_BOOT_COUNTER=y
CONFIG_BOOT_COUNTER_MAX_TRY=3
Here is the layout used by app1:
Note
It contains more than just what is required, but reflects more a real case than just a basic example.
