The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds new Python code to the Trezor firmware tools for parsing and building Nordic Semiconductor (nRF) style firmware images. It is a feature addition, not a fix. The code handles firmware headers, TLV metadata blocks, SHA-256 digests, Ed25519 signatures, and device model identifiers. There is no indication in the commit that this resolves a security bug or is being released as a security patch.

Recommended action

No immediate security action is required. Treat this as a routine feature addition. If using these new classes for production firmware signing or verification, review the signature verification logic, TLV parsing robustness, and ensure the model-to-key mapping in `get_nrf_keys` is trustworthy.

Security signals we found

01

Adds Ed25519 signature verification for nRF firmware images

02

Adds SHA-256 digest computation over header + image data + protected TLV

03

Adds integrity checks on TLV table magics, protected TLV size, and trailer

04

Uses model-specific public key lookup for signature verification

05
