Changes and New Features

flint

SECURITY_LOG section was added to image layout. Added FS5_SECURITY_LOG identifier which will be displayed during the command:

flint -i <bin> verify

All

flint -d <dev> -ocr hw query: Added support for querying BP (Block Protection) and TBS (Top Bottom Selection) in raw, bitwise form.

flint -d <dev> -ocr hw set: Added support for performing partial sets for write protection.

This allows users to set either the TBS bit or the BP bits individually, instead of requiring both to be set simultaneously.

All

Added support for displaying flint query if the device is Socket Direct device (If not - nothing new will be printed).

For BF-3 devices, will also display if aux card is connected.

All

Added support for querying if the Aux card is connected by use of MRSV.two_p_core_active.

This is meaningful only if the case where the two_p_core_active strap is fed from the AUX card plug.

All

Added support for host ELF file to appear in a format where each DPA app can contain multiple DPA ELFs for different hardware arch versions.

Command:

mlxdpa -e <host elf file> -c <certificate path> -p <private key path> -o <output path> sign_dpa_apps
