Help¶

Magic word for all structs (32 bits). This is used by different metadata structs (in fw_info.h and elsewhere). They each have their own magic word composed of three uint32_t values, where one is always this option (FW_INFO_MAGIC_COMMON). One of the uint32_ts is a compatibility ID constructed from FW_INFO_HARDWARE_ID, FW_INFO_VERSION, FW_CRYPTO_ID, and FW_INFO_MAGIC_COMPATIBILITY_ID, while the final uint32_t is completely different for each struct, e.g. FW_INFO_MAGIC_FIRMWARE_INFO. The bootloader expects a certain value for each struct, and if it attempts to read a struct without a matching magic word, the struct will be rejected. The config values here apply both to this build of the bootloader and to the metadata constructed for the app. Refer to this module’s CMakeLists.txt to see how the magic words are composed.
