Hello All,
Does the current TF-M version support image compression before image is encrypted?
Needless to say, compression after the image has been encrypted would not yield reasonable compression ratio.
I am showing that *.bin files, even built with MinSizeRel option, zip-compress with minimum 50% compression ratio so probably this would make sense. Tested with STM32U5 target and GCC.
"PSA Certified Firmware Update API https://arm-software.github.io/psa-api/fwu/1.0/overview/architecture.html#m anifest " document in sections 3.1 and 3.2 provides for image compression.
Kind regards,
Tomasz Jastrzębski
Hi Tomasz,
currently TF-M does not implement support of any kind of compressed image update or delta firmware upgrades.

Hi Antonio,
This might be a good roadmap addition, especially for the systems with large memory, where the benefit of the smaller image size significantly outweighs the additional bootloader size.
Kind Regards,
Tomasz
