Illustration for Boot and secure-storage sequencing review

Scope narrative

Boot paths are easy to overfit to the happy case. We walk your ROM loaders, secure-storage policies, and update stubs, highlighting race windows and power-loss corners. Output is engineer-readable, not slide-deck fluff.

Included focus areas

  • Boot timeline diagram with measured segments
  • Secure key integration review without vendor lock-in pitches
  • Rollback matrix for A/B and single-slot schemes
  • Flash wear notes where logging verbosity collides with endurance
  • UART/USB recovery path sanity check
  • Checklist for manufacturing provisioning scripts

Outcomes you can archive

  • Fewer bricked units during aggressive field trials
  • Clearer responsibilities between BSP and product firmware
  • Traceable answers for penetration testers

FAQ

Do you perform penetration testing?

We prepare firmware for tester questions and close obvious gaps. Full pen-tests are a separate engagement.

Which vendors are supported?

We stay vendor-neutral; specifics live under your NDA.

What if keys live in a secure element?

We review the contract between MCU and element, not the silicon internals.

Experience notes

They mapped rollback corners we had hand-waved. Manufacturing stopped arguing about provisioning scripts.
