Description
In 2025, I can't create a working reloader-mcuboot.zip, I assume due to a faulty library.
I'm trying to generate a bootloader without displaying the reload screen by emptying the pinetime_boot_init() function.
Has anyone managed to get this working lately? Any tips?
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reviewing how reloader-mcuboot.zip is generated and how the MCUBoot bootloader uses pinetime_boot_init(). Reproduce the failure with an empty pinetime_boot_init() function and compare the resulting archive with a working build. Done means producing a working reloader-mcuboot.zip without displaying the reload screen.
