1.4.1 Bootloader and Application Binary Merge Script Help

The Script is compatible with Python 3.x and higher.

• This script should be used to merge the bootloader binary and application binary

• It creates a merged binary output where bootloader is placed from start and the application will be placed at the offset passed as parameter

• If the application offset is not equal to end of bootloader offset it fills the gap with 0xFF until the application offset

• The merged binary can be used by btl_host.py as input for Updating bootloader and application together

• The merged binary will be created in the directory from where the script was called

Below is the syntax to show help menu for the script:

python <harmony3_path>/bootloader/tools/btl_app_merge_bin.py --help

Below is the syntax and an example on how to merge a bootloader binary and application binary:

python <harmony3_path>/bootloader/tools/btl_app_merge_bin.py -o <Offset> -b <Bootloader_binary_path> -a <Application_binary_path>

python <harmony3_path>/bootloader/tools/btl_app_merge_bin.py -o 0x2000 -b <harmony3_path>/bootloader_apps_uart/apps/uart_fail_safe_bootloader/bootloader/firmware/sam_e54_xpro.X/dist/sam_e54_xpro/production/sam_e54_xpro.X.production.bin -a <harmony3_path>/bootloader_apps_uart/apps/uart_fail_safe_bootloader/test_app/firmware/sam_e54_xpro.X/dist/sam_e54_xpro/production/sam_e54_xpro.X.production.bin

python <harmony3_path>/bootloader/tools/btl_host.py -v -s -i COM18 -d same5x -a 0x80000 -f <Path_to_merged_binary>/btl_app_merged.bin
