Android 10 adds support for dynamic partitions and in order to support them userspace fastboot must be used[1]. New tool called fastbootd is included into recovery image.
Userspace fastboot works from recovery and is launched if: 1) - Dynamic partitioning is enabled 2) - Boot control block has 'boot-fastboot' value into command field
The bootloader is expected[2] to load and boot into the recovery image upon seeing boot-fastboot in the BCB command. Recovery then parses the BCB message and switches to fastbootd mode.
Please note that boot script is expected to handle 'boot-fastboot' command in BCB and load into recovery mode.
Bootloader must support[3] 'reboot fastboot' command which should reboot device into userspace fastboot to accomodate those changes.
Another command that bootloader must support[3] is 'reboot recovery'. This command should simply reboot device into recovery mode.
Changes since v1[4]: * Added missing handling of reboot commands for network protocol * Extended fastboot_set_reboot_flag command to accept reboot reason * Made former fastboot_set_flag function as an optional implementation of fastboot_set_reboot_flag which could be turned on by Kconfig
