This python package includes several utility scripts for working with binaries and .hex files.

By default, the demo application and bootloader are built as hex files to support flashing multiple images to different addresses. Some targets need to have the latest debug interface firmwares to support this, for example ST-LINK's firmware upgrader can be found [here](https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stsw-link007.html). If your target does not support hex images, a single bin image with everything merged together can be used instead as will be described in [Merging it all together](#Merging-it-all-together) below.

### Creating the signing keys and building the bootloader

This section will only cover steps specific to setting up this project with a signing key pair and signing a main application binary. For more advanced use cases and information, such as using alternative signing algorithms to rsa-2048, see the [mcuboot documentation on Image Signing](https://github.com/mcu-tools/mcuboot/blob/master/docs/signed_images.md#image-signing).

### Merging it all together

To be able to drag-and-drop program the whole demo together, it is necessary to merge all the hex files we created in the last steps together.
Usually, if your target supports hex files, you can drag-and-drop one image at a time (waiting for each to finish) to program them into their respective locations.

If your target doesn't support hex files or performs a whole chip erase upon every drag-and-drop action, it is necessary to merge all the hex files we created in the last steps together.

At this step, you should have created three hex files:

```

Notice that the reported version number has changed! The update was performed successfully.

**Note:** After an update is performed, the new application must mark itself as "okay" to the mcuboot bootloader. If this does not occur, mcuboot will revert the update upon the next reboot (if configured to do so).

The blinky application in this demo always does this at startup:
To make the update as "okay", press the button as instructed. This causes the application to call
`boot_set_confirmed()`.

Now you should see:

```
int ret = boot_set_confirmed();
[INFO][main]: Current firmware set as confirmed
```

In real world situations, your application should run a self test routine to ensure it can receive updates in the future (eg: the UART software works as expected, the BLE stack initializes successfully, etc).

There doesn't seem to be a default for this in targets.json. Could the absence of this cause bd r/w to fail?

The default for all targets is defined to be 1 here: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/blob/f6e165febec105c042137a4d1bf663a58968aac8/storage/blockdevice/COMPONENT_QSPIF/mbed_lib.json#L21
So DISCO_L475VG_IOT01A has it set to 1.

Also, we can remove the override for EP_AGORA and NRF52840_DK too, because they both inherit MCU_NRF52840 which is already set to 4: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/blob/f6e165febec105c042137a4d1bf663a58968aac8/storage/blockdevice/COMPONENT_QSPIF/mbed_lib.json#L40
