Embassy-boot is a simple bootloader that works together with an application to provide firmware update capabilities with a minimal risk. The bootloader consists of a platform-independent part, which implements the swap algorithm, and a platform-dependent part (currently only for nRF) that provides addition functionality such as watchdog timers softdevice support.

# Examples using bootloader
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example for nRF52 demonstrating the bootloader. The example consists of application binaries, 'a'
 | 
						|
which allows you to press a button to start the DFU process, and 'b' which is the updated
 | 
						|
application.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Prerequisites
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `cargo-binutils`
 | 
						|
* `cargo-flash`
 | 
						|
* `embassy-boot-nrf`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Usage
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
# Flash bootloader
 | 
						|
cargo flash --manifest-path ../../embassy-boot/nrf/Cargo.toml --release --features embassy-nrf/nrf52840 --chip nRF52840_xxAA
 | 
						|
# Build 'b'
 | 
						|
cargo build --release --features embassy-nrf/nrf52840 --bin b
 | 
						|
# Generate binary for 'b'
 | 
						|
cargo objcopy --release --features embassy-nrf/nrf52840 --bin b -- -O binary b.bin
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Flash `a` (which includes b.bin)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
cargo flash --release --features embassy-nrf/nrf52840 --bin a --chip nRF52840_xxAA
 | 
						|
```
