* Edited OTA readme, added Stream Interface snippet
Reworded for easier understanding. Changes mostly in first half of page.
* OTA docs: corrected typos, misc edits near end
* Incorporated suggestions from earlephilhower
Extra ^, removed TODO
* Move all scripts and documentation to Python3
Python 2 EOL is Jan 1, 2020. Migrate scripts to run under Python 3.
Under Windows, we're already running Python 3.7, by dumb luck. The
oddness is that the Windows standalone executable for Python 3 is called
"python" whereas under UNIX-like OSes it's called "python3" with
"python" always referring to the Python 2 executable. The ZIP needs to
be updated to include a Python3.exe (copy of Python.exe) so that we can
use the same command lines under Linux and Windows, and to preserve my
sanity.
Fixes#6376
* Add new Windows ZIP with python3.exe file
* Sort options in boards.txt generation for repeatability
The order of the board opts dict changes depending on the Python version
and machine, so sort the options before printing them to get a stable
ordering.
* Re-add Python2 compatibility tweaks
Most scripts can run as Python 2 or Python 3 with minimal changes, so
re-add (and fix, as necessary) compatibility tweaks to the scripts.
* Upgrade to https: serving for JSON, links in docs
Fixes#5480
* Update boards.rst documentation
* Update more documentation http: refs to https:
* Remove obsolete staging info
* Drop obsolete versions from JSON programatically
After the final merge is done on the JSON, strip out any named versions
from the final product.
Removing 1.6.5-* and 2.5.0-beta(1,2,3) for now.
* Remove 2.4.0-rc(0/1) from JSON, too
Using a pluggable architecture, allow updates delivered via the Update
class to be verified as signed by a certificate. By using plugins, avoid
pulling either axTLS or BearSSL into normal builds.
A signature is appended to a binary image, followed by the size of the
signature as a 32-bit int. The updater takes a verification function
and checks this signature using whatever method it chooses, and if it
fails the update is not applied.
A SHA256 hash class is presently implemented for the signing hash (since
MD5 is a busted algorithm).
A BearSSLPublicKey based verifier is implemented for RSA keys. The
application only needs the Public Key, while to sign you can use
OpenSSL and your private key (which should never leave your control
or be deployed on any endpoints).
An example using automatic signing is included.
Update the docs to show the signing steps and how to use it in the
automatic and manual modes.
Also remove one debugging line from the signing tool.
Saves ~600 bytes when in debug mode by moving strings to PMEM
Windows can't run the signing script, nor does it normally have OpenSSL
installed. When trying to build an automatically signed binary, warn
and don't run the python.
* Update readme.rst
fix broken link to file system flash layout
* linkage repair
my second shot at fixing the external page link for "flash layout". It appears that the on-page link to "Update Process - Memory View" was broken (not sure if I got this one right or not).
Updated Introduction and Adruino IDE sections
Updated versions of platform packages
Addedd information about Digest-MD5 authentication and MD5 checksum
Updated TOC
