mcuboot, usbx and filex integration

[tdjastrzebski]

What I’m proposing is not a problem-specific fix, but rather an idea to increase the practical value of ThreadX.

Integrate ThreadX with mcuboot. At present, mcuboot supports all major RTOSes, but unfortunately not ThreadX.

Once mcuboot supports ThreadX, implement a USB bootloader based on usbx and filex.

This combination would be a standout feature and, in my opinion, would make ThreadX an exceptionally versatile and valuable product, greatly streamlining the development of complete, professional solutions based on ThreadX.

I also believe this is relatively low-hanging fruit.

Hi @tameraw.

Thank you for this proposal. I think it has merit, although I lack the expertise to determine the actual size and complexity of the task.

@eclipse-threadx/iot-threadx-committers What do you think, team? Would we be willing to build and submit a ThreadX port to the MCUboot project? Are there alternatives we should consider?

I believe integrating widely used MCUboot with ThreadX would send a strong signal that ThreadX is back in the game.
