If the device\nuses an unmodified AOSP recovery image, the bootloader reads the first 32 bytes\non the `misc` partition; if the data there matches `boot-recovery`, the\nbootloader boots into the `recovery` image. This method enables any pending\nrecovery work (for example, applying an OTA or removing data) to continue to\ncompletion.\n\nFor details on the content of a block in flash used for communications by\nrecovery and the bootloader, refer to\n[bootable/recovery/bootloader_message/bootloader_message.h](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bootable/recovery/+/android16-release/bootloader_message/include/bootloader_message/bootloader_message.h#64).\n\nDevices with A/B updates\n------------------------\n\nTo support OTA updates on devices that use [A/B\nupdates](/docs/core/ota/ab), ensure that the device bootloader meets\nthe following criteria.\n\n### General criteria\n\n- All partitions updated through an OTA should be updatable while the main\n system is booted (and not updated in recovery).\n\n- To boot the `system` partition, the bootloader passes the following value on\n kernel command line: `ro root=/dev/[node] rootwait init=/init`.\n\n- It's the responsibility of the Android framework to call `markBootSuccessful`\n from the HAL. The bootloader should never mark a partition as successfully\n booted.\n\n### Support for boot control HAL\n\nThe bootloader must support the `boot_control` HAL as defined in\n`hardware/libhardware/include/hardware/boot_control.h`. The updater queries the\n[boot control\nHAL](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/interfaces/+/refs/heads/android16-release/boot/1.0/IBootControl.hal),\nupdates the boot slot not in use, changes the active slot using the\nHAL, and reboots into the updated operating system. For details, see\n[Implementing the boot control\nHAL](/docs/core/ota/ab/ab_implement#bootcontrol).\n\n### Support for slots\n\nThe bootloader must support functionality related to partitions and slots,\nincluding:\n\n- Partition names must include a suffix that identifies which partitions\n belong to a particular slot in the bootloader. For each such partition,\n there's a corresponding variable\n `has-slot:`\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003epartition base name\u003c/var\u003e with a value of\n `yes`. Slots are named alphabetically as a, b, c, etc. corresponding to\n partitions with the suffix `_a`, `_b`, `_c`, etc. The bootloader should inform\n the operating system which slot was booted using the command line property\n `androidboot.slot_suffix`. This property is set through bootconfig for devices\n launching with Android 12 or higher.\n\n- The `slot-retry-count` value is reset to a positive value (usually `3`),\n either by the boot control HAL through the `setActiveBootSlot` callback or\n through the `fastboot set_active` command. When modifying a partition that's\n part of a slot, the bootloader clears \"successfully booted\" and resets the\n retry count for the slot.\n\nThe bootloader should also determine which slot to load. The figure shows an\nexample decision process.\n**Figure 1.** Bootloader slotting flow\n\n1. Determine which slot to attempt. Don't attempt to load a slot marked\n `slot-unbootable`. This slot should be consistent with the values returned by\n fastboot, and is referred to as the current slot.\n\n2. If the current slot isn't marked as `slot-successful` and has a\n `slot-retry-count = 0`, mark the current slot as `slot-unbootable`. Then\n select a different slot that is not marked `unbootable` and is marked as\n `slot-successful`; this slot is now the selected slot. If no current slot is\n available, boot to recovery or display a meaningful error message to the\n user.\n\n3. Select the appropriate `boot.img` and include the path to correct system\n partition on the kernel command line.\n\n4. Populate the kernel command line `slot_suffix` parameter.\n\n5. Boot. If not marked `slot-successful`, decrement `slot-retry-count`.\n\nThe `fastboot` utility determines which partition to flash when running any\nflash commands. For example, running the `fastboot flash system system.img`\ncommand first queries the `current-slot` variable then concatenates the result\nto system to generate the name of the partition that should be flashed\n(`system_a`, `system_b`, etc.).\n\nWhen setting the current slot using the fastboot `set_active` command or the\nboot control HAL `setActiveBootSlot` command, the bootloader should update\nthe current slot, clear `slot-unbootable` and `slot-successful`, and reset the\nretry count (this is the only way to clear `slot-unbootable`).\n\nDevices without A/B updates\n---------------------------\n\nTo support OTA updates on devices that don't use A/B updates (see [Non-A/B\nupdatable devices](/docs/core/ota/nonab)), ensure that the device\nbootloader meets the following criteria.\n\n- The `recovery` partition should contain an image that is capable of reading a\n system image from some supported partition (`cache`, `userdata`) and writing\n it to the `system` partition.\n\n- The bootloader should support booting directly into recovery mode.\n\n- If radio image updates are supported, the `recovery` partition should also be\n able to flash the radio. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:\n\n - The bootloader flashes the radio. In this case, it should be possible to\n reboot from the recovery partition back into the bootloader to complete the\n update.\n\n - The recovery image flashes the radio. This functionality can be provided as\n a binary library or utility."]]
