This tool can generate an OTA image in the |OTA standard header|TLV1|...|TLVn| format. The payload contains data in standard TLV format (not Matter TLV format). During OTA transfer, these TLV can span across multiple BDX blocks, thus the OTAImageProcessorImpl instance should take this into account.
This is a wrapper over standard ota_image_tool.py, so the options for create are also available here:
python3 ./scripts/tools/silabs/ota/ota_image_tool.py create -v 0xDEAD -p 0xBEEF -vn 50000 -vs "1.0" -da sha256
followed by *custom options- and a positional argument (should be last) that specifies the output file. Please see the create_ota_images.sh for some reference commands.
The list of custom options:
# Application options
--app-input-file --> Path to the application binary.
--app-version --> Application version. It's part of the descriptor and
can be different than the OTA image header version: -vn.
--app-version-str --> Application version string. Same as above.
--app-build-date --> Application build date. Same as above.
# SSBL options
--bl-input-file --> Path to the SSBL binary.
--bl-version --> SSBL version.
--bl-version-str --> SSBL version string.
--bl-build-date --> SSBL build date.
# Factory data options
--factory-data --> If set, enables the generation of factory data.
--cert_declaration --> Certification Declaration.
--dac_cert --> DAC certificate.
--dac_key --> DAC private key.
--pai_cert --> PAI certificate.
# Custom TLV options
--json --> Path to a JSON file following ota_payload.schema
Please note that the options above are separated into four categories: application, bootloader, factory data and custom TLV (--json option). If no descriptor options are specified for app/SSBL, the script will use the default values (50000, "50000-default", "2023-01-01"). The descriptor feature is optional, TLV processors having the option to register a callback for descriptor processing.
When defining a custom processor, a user is able to also specify the custom format of the TLV by creating a JSON file based on the ota_payload.schema. The tool offers support for describing multiple TLV in the same JSON file. Please see the examples/ota_max_entries_example.json for a multi-app + SSBL example. Option --json must be used to specify the path to the JSON file.
