>From our company's experience of sha256 signing on atmel Sam7 chips there
are as many variants of padding and signing as bootloaders. It must be a
multiple of 32 bytes. There is a field for pad bits added at the end. And
the actual hash signature isn't part of the data to hash. But as I found
out from adventures in squashfs with Linux hacking, there's a period where
it deviated from standard to get it working from patches. And they are not
all the same. Not sure if this is what has happened here though. Does
anyone have nor flash dumps of 5.1 and 4.9?
