Description

It would be nice if there were a characteristic for reading and writing firmware MCUboot confirmation status.

This would provide:

  • A way to make sure Bluetooth LE works
  • A nice UI to show that Bluetooth LE needs to be confirmed (or is confirmed)
  • Companion apps a way to warn the user that they haven't confirmed the newly flashed firmware

The characteristic could have three states:

  • 0 - unconfirmed
  • 1 - Bluetooth LE confirmed
  • 2 - confirmed

Research direction

Start by locating the Bluetooth LE characteristic definitions and the MCUboot confirmation interface in the firmware. Compare the requested three states with the existing firmware-confirmation flow, then verify that reading and writing the characteristic supports the stated confirmation and companion-app use cases.
