The OpenBLT bootloader already has several security options build-in that can be easily enabled. Together with readily available add-on modules and a few extra configuration steps, your system can be fully secured. Have a look at [[https://www.feaser.com/en/blog/?p=245|this blog article]], which lists the available security options and explains in detail how to enable them. | The OpenBLT bootloader already has several security options build-in that can be easily enabled.

+ | **__Can the OpenBLT bootloader update itself?__** \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Yes, this is possible. It involves the creation of a secondary OpenBLT bootloader, derived from the same source code. You can find details and step-by-step instructions in [[https://www.feaser.com/en/blog/2022/05/how-to-update-the-openblt-bootloader-itself/|this blog article]]. | ||

+ | Note though that updating the bootloader itself comes with a risk. If something goes wrong during this procedure (for example an unexpected power loss or communication glitch), you might be left with a system that has no bootloader at all. | ||
