		size_t *	keyLen

keyProviderRegisterCallback()

cboot_error_t keyProviderRegisterCallback

(

KeyProviderCallback

callback

)

Register cipher key provider callback function.

The callback is invoked by a CycloneBOOT consumer (IAP update library or second-stage bootloader) to obtain the cipher key at run time, instead of having the key statically configured. This lets the key live in a secure element (e.g. STSAFE) and never sit in flash.

Parameters

[in]

callback

Cipher key provider callback function

Returns

Error code
