    help
        This value is ignored unless flash mode is set to QIO or QOUT *and* the SPI flash pins have been
        overriden by setting the efuses SPI_PAD_CONFIG_xxx.

        When this is the case, the Efuse config only defines 3 of the 4 Quad I/O data pins. The WP pin (aka ESP32
        pin "SD_DATA_3" or SPI flash pin "IO2") is not specified in Efuse. That pin number is compiled into the bootloader
        instead.

        The default value (GPIO 7) is correct for WP pin on ESP32-D2WD integrated flash.

choice BOOTLOADER_VDDSDIO_BOOST

    help
        If this option is enabled, and VDDSDIO LDO is set to 1.8V (using EFUSE
        or MTDI bootstrapping pin), bootloader will change LDO settings to
        output 1.9V instead. This helps prevent flash chip from browning out
        during flash programming operations.

        This option has no effect if VDDSDIO is set to 3.3V, or if the internal
        VDDSDIO regulator is disabled via efuse.

config SECURE_BOOT_ENABLED
    bool "Enable secure boot in bootloader (READ DOCS FIRST)"
    default N
    help
        Build a bootloader which enables secure boot on first boot.

        Once enabled, secure boot will not boot a modified bootloader. The bootloader will only load a partition table or boot an app if the data has a verified digital signature. There are implications for reflashing updated apps once secure boot is enabled.

        When enabling secure boot, JTAG and ROM BASIC Interpreter are permanently disabled by default.

        Refer to https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/security/secure-boot.html before enabling.

choice SECURE_BOOTLOADER_MODE
    bool "Secure bootloader mode"

config SECURE_BOOTLOADER_ONE_TIME_FLASH
       bool "One-time flash"
       help
           On first boot, the bootloader will generate a key which is not readable externally or by software. A digest is generated from the bootloader image itself. This digest will be verified on each subsequent boot.

           Enabling this option means that the bootloader cannot be changed after the first time it is booted.

config SECURE_BOOTLOADER_REFLASHABLE
    bool "Reflashable"
    help
        Generate a reusable secure bootloader key, derived (via SHA-256) from the secure boot signing key.

        This allows the secure bootloader to be re-flashed by anyone with access to the secure boot signing key.

        This option is less secure than one-time flash, because a leak of the digest key from one device allows reflashing of any device that uses it.

config SECURE_BOOT_BUILD_SIGNED_BINARIES
     bool "Sign binaries during build"
     depends on SECURE_BOOT_ENABLED
     default y
     help
        Once secure boot is enabled, bootloader will only boot if partition table and app image are signed.

        If enabled, these binary files are signed as part of the build process. The file named in "Secure boot private signing key" will be used to sign the image.

        If disabled, unsigned app/partition data will be built. They must be signed manually using espsecure.py (for example, on a remote signing server.)

config SECURE_BOOT_SIGNING_KEY
     string "Secure boot private signing key"
     depends on SECURE_BOOT_BUILD_SIGNED_BINARIES
     default secure_boot_signing_key.pem
     help
        Path to the key file used to sign partition tables and app images for secure boot. Once secure boot is enabled, bootloader will only boot if partition table and app image are signed.

        Key file is an ECDSA private key (NIST256p curve) in PEM format.

        Path is evaluated relative to the project directory.

        You can generate a new signing key by running the following command:
        espsecure.py generate_signing_key secure_boot_signing_key.pem

        See docs/security/secure-boot.rst for details.

config SECURE_BOOT_VERIFICATION_KEY
    string "Secure boot public signature verification key"
    depends on SECURE_BOOT_ENABLED && !SECURE_BOOT_BUILD_SIGNED_BINARIES
    default signature_verification_key.bin
    help
       Path to a public key file used to verify signed images. This key is compiled into the bootloader,
       and may also be used to verify signatures on OTA images after download.

       Key file is in raw binary format, and can be extracted from a
       PEM formatted private key using the espsecure.py
       extract_public_key command.

       You can disable some of the default protections offered by secure boot, in order to enable testing or a custom combination of security features.

       Only enable these options if you are very sure.

config FLASH_ENCRYPTION_ENABLED
    bool "Enable flash encryption on boot (READ DOCS FIRST)"
    default N
    help
       If this option is set, flash contents will be encrypted by the bootloader on first boot.

       Note: After first boot, the system will be permanently encrypted. Re-flashing an encrypted
       system is complicated and not always possible.

       Read https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/security/flash-encryption.html before enabling.

       default N
       help
          By default, the BASIC ROM Console starts on reset if no valid bootloader is
          read from the flash.

          When either flash encryption or secure boot are enabled, the default is to
          disable this BASIC fallback mode permanently via efuse.

          If this option is set, this efuse is not burned and the BASIC ROM Console may
          remain accessible.  Only set this option in testing environments.

config SECURE_BOOT_ALLOW_JTAG
       bool "Allow JTAG Debugging"
       depends on SECURE_BOOT_INSECURE || FLASH_ENCRYPTION_INSECURE
       default N
       help
          If not set (default), the bootloader will permanently disable JTAG (across entire chip) on first boot when either secure boot or flash encryption is enabled.

          Setting this option leaves JTAG on for debugging, which negates all protections of flash encryption and some of the protections of secure boot.

          Only set this option in testing environments.


config FLASH_ENCRYPTION_UART_BOOTLOADER_ALLOW_ENCRYPT
    bool "Leave UART bootloader encryption enabled"
    depends on FLASH_ENCRYPTION_INSECURE
    default N
    help
        If not set (default), the bootloader will permanently disable UART bootloader encryption access on first boot. If set, the UART bootloader will still be able to access hardware encryption.

        It is recommended to only set this option in testing environments.

config FLASH_ENCRYPTION_UART_BOOTLOADER_ALLOW_DECRYPT
    bool "Leave UART bootloader decryption enabled"
    depends on FLASH_ENCRYPTION_INSECURE
    default N
    help
        If not set (default), the bootloader will permanently disable UART bootloader decryption access on first boot. If set, the UART bootloader will still be able to access hardware decryption.

        Only set this option in testing environments. Setting this option allows complete bypass of flash encryption.

config FLASH_ENCRYPTION_UART_BOOTLOADER_ALLOW_CACHE
    bool "Leave UART bootloader flash cache enabled"
    depends on FLASH_ENCRYPTION_INSECURE
    default N
    help
        If not set (default), the bootloader will permanently disable UART bootloader flash cache access on first boot. If set, the UART bootloader will still be able to access the flash cache.

        Only set this option in testing environments.

config SECURE_BOOT_TEST_MODE
       bool "Secure boot test mode: don't permanently set any efuses"
       depends on SECURE_BOOT_INSECURE
       default N
       help
          If this option is set, all permanent secure boot changes (via Efuse) are disabled.

          Log output will state changes which would be applied, but they will not be.

          This option is for testing purposes only - it completely disables secure boot protection.
