fix: size CURRENT.UF2 from the app start, not from every block written - #34
Conversation
bank_0_size is measured from DFU_BANK_0_REGION_START by the CRC check and by serial/OTA DFU, but msc_uf2.c recorded every UF2 block written from 0x1000 (so a CURRENT.UF2 restore, which carries the SoftDevice blocks, overcounted by the SD span) and ghostfat.c used the value as a window from USER_FLASH_START (so after a serial DFU the dump was short by the same span - 1.2M instead of the real 1.5M+, and a restore of that dump only works while the tail is still in flash). Now ghostfat adds the SoftDevice span to bank_0_size, and msc_uf2 records the highest app address written minus the app start. Verified on RAK4631 with 2.8.0.abd3348 (729,528 B app): after a serial DFU the dump is 1,762,304 B (SD span + app rounded to 256), and after restoring that dump it is byte-identical and the same size.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughUF2 application writes now track their highest application end address. Flash-size calculations convert bank coordinates to application coordinates. Update completion records the resulting application span instead of using a fixed written-block count. ChangesUF2 application size tracking
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change corrects CURRENT.UF2 sizing, but the new 32-bit addition can wrap for a near-maximum stored bank size and produce a falsely small, truncated dump; merge should wait for overflow-safe validation or explicit owner acceptance.

Prevent 32-bit overflow before validating flash_sz.
At Line [208], the addition occurs before the invalid-size check. A non-sentinel bank_0_size near UINT32_MAX can wrap to a small value, pass the flash_sz > TRUE_USER_FLASH_SIZE check, and produce a truncated CURRENT.UF2.
Perform the calculation in uint64_t, or validate the raw bank size against the maximum allowed value before adding the SoftDevice span.
Proposed fix
- flash_sz = boot_setting->bank_0_size;
- if ( flash_sz && (flash_sz != 0xFFFFFFFFUL) )
- {
- flash_sz += DFU_BANK_0_REGION_START - USER_FLASH_START;
- }

Follow-up to #20.
bank_0_sizehas two meanings depending on who wrote it:bootloader.c) and the CRC check: bytes fromDFU_BANK_0_REGION_STARTmsc_uf2.c: every UF2 block written from 0x1000 — aCURRENT.UF2restore carries the SoftDevice blocks, so that overcounts by the SD spanghostfat.cthen uses it as a window fromUSER_FLASH_START. Net effect: after a serial DFU (the Android in-app upgrade path)CURRENT.UF2is short by exactly the SoftDevice span — 1.2 MB where 1.5 MB+ is real — and restoring that dump only works while the missing tail is still in flash. Found while hardware-testing #32 (see the thread there; the failed "serial DFU" run was a truncated dump being restored).Fix:
ghostfat.cadds the SD span tobank_0_size;msc_uf2.crecordsappEnd - DFU_BANK_0_REGION_START(highest app address written) instead ofnumWritten * 256.Verified on RAK4631, app 2.8.0.abd3348 (729,528 B):
