Eric Curtin 9d7600df51 Use scope-based memory management for malloc, free, open, close, etc.
If we are using C++, we might as well use scope-based memory management
for these things, cleaner and less error prone. Also removed
unnecessary gotos.

Qualcomm bootctl HAL for Linux

This HAL was pulled from AOSP source code and bastardised to build and run on a musl/glibc system. This may or may not render any hardware you run it on unusable, you have been warned.

Dependencies

  • zlib-dev
  • meson
  • cmake
  • linux-headers

Building

qbootctl uses the meson build system

meson build
meson compile -C build

Usage

qbootctl: qcom bootctrl HAL port for Linux
-------------------------------------------
qbootctl [-c|-m|-s|-u|-b|-n|-x] [SLOT]

    <no args>        dump slot info (default)
    -h               this help text
    -c               get the current slot
    -b SLOT          check if SLOT is marked as bootable
    -n SLOT          check if SLOT is marked as successful
    -x [SLOT]        get the slot suffix for SLOT (default: current)
    -s SLOT          set to active slot to SLOT
    -m [SLOT]        mark a boot as successful (default: current)
    -u [SLOT]        mark SLOT as unbootable (default: current)

Debugging

Set DEBUG to 1 in utils.h to enable debug logging.
