Send bootloader version to application #23

Closed endian-albin closed 4 years ago

endian-albin commented 4 years ago

It would be useful if the application could somehow get the version of the running bootloader. This would allow

displaying this information to the user
different application behaviour, for example resetting the watchdog timer or not.

Sorry I'm not planning to make any more changes to MCUBoot. Do have any suggestions how this could be done?

lupyuen commented 4 years ago

I'll close this issue for now since I won't be making any more updates to MCUBoot. Please submit a tested PR if we need to update MCUBoot.

That's OK. No, I'm afraid that I don't have any suggestions at the moment. By the way, I resolved the second point above (in Hypnos) by checking whether a watchdog is running and, if so, start feeding it.
