In-the-field use of these FUS/WS firmware update scripts has exposed some
weak points, causing corrupted FUS/WS firmware to be flashed to the unit.
The problems are mostly caused with the ST GUI application, but sometimes
from un-recognised failures during bin file transfer to the WB55 prior to
running the rfcore_firmware.py script. Other failures were caused by
incorrect load addresses being used, again both from user error copying the
address from the HTML release notes to the GUI tool, but also from
similarly not updating the address correctly in rfcore_firmware.py
To guard against these errors and make it easier to prepare different
versions, this commit adds a few features to the rfcore firmware update
tools:
- When creating the bin file, automatically parse the release note in the
folder to get the correct address.
- Add a footer to the bin file containing the name, version, CRC, address
etc.
- Before flashing rfcore, check if the same version is already installed.
- Verify the CRC and obfuscation key before flashing bin.
- Log the name and version of file being flashed.
This commit adds a script that can be run on-device to install FUS and WS
binaries from the filesystem. Instructions for use are provided in
the rfcore_firmware.py file.
The commit also removes unneeded functionality from the existing rfcore.py
debug script (and renames it rfcore_debug.py).
