Hi,

 

Currently in the Attestation partition, when encoding the security lifecycle, boot seed, and hardware version claims, these info are searched in the shared memory firstly before calling the platform hal APIs. See the code here. Sharing this information via shared memory is a legacy mechanism and MCUboot does not writes that information when booting. And calling the platform hal APIs way is recommended. I created this patch removes looking for the security lifecycle, boot seed, and hardware version from shared memory. Before opening this patch for review, I would like to query whether this mechanism is being used by any platform.

Is there any platform(which suppose runs a bootloader which is not MCUboot) using this sharing memory mechanism to provide the security lifecycle, boot seed, and hardware version information now?

 

Thanks,
