Help¶

This option signifies that the target uses MCUboot as a bootloader, or in other words that the image is to be chain-loaded by MCUboot. This sets several required build system and Device Tree options in order for the image generated to be bootable using the MCUboot open source bootloader. Currently this includes:

Setting ROM_START_OFFSET to a default value that allows space for the MCUboot image header

Activating SW_VECTOR_RELAY_CLIENT on Cortex-M0 (or Armv8-M baseline) targets with no built-in vector relocation mechanisms

By default, this option instructs Zephyr to initialize the core architecture HW registers during boot, when this is supported by the application. This removes the need by MCUboot to reset the core registers’ state itself.
