Additionally, always enable the partition MD5 check if flash encryption is on in
Release mode. This ensures the partition table ciphertext has not been modified
(CVE-2021-27926).
The exception is pre-V3.1 ESP-IDF bootloaders and partition tables, which
don't have support for the MD5 entry.
Sometimes the flash size read from bootloader is not correct. This may
forbid SPI Flash driver from reading the the area larger than the size
in bootloader header.
When the new config option is enabled, the latest configured
ESPTOOLPY_FLAHSIZE in the app header will be used to override the value
read from bootloader header.
We fixed some flash bugs in bootloader, but for the users used the old
vrsion bootloader, they can not fix these bugs via OTA, the solution is
add these updates in app startup.
These updates include:
1. SPI flash gpio matrix and drive strength configuration
2. SPI flash clock configuration
3. SPI flash read dummy configuration
4. SPI flash cs timing configuration
5. Update flash id of g_rom_flashchip
This MR improves existing flash encryption document to provide simplified steps
Adds two new modes for user: Development & Release
Adds a simple example
Supports encrypted write through make command
Using xxx_periph.h in whole IDF instead of xxx_reg.h, xxx_struct.h, xxx_channel.h ... .
Cleaned up header files from unnecessary headers (releated to soc/... headers).
This prevents a device from being bricked in case when both secure boot & flash encryption are enabled and encryption gets interrupted during first boot. After interruption, all partitions on the device need to be reflashed (including the bootloader).
List of changes:
* Secure boot key generation and bootloader digest generation logic, implemented inside function esp_secure_boot_permanently_enable(), has been pulled out into new API esp_secure_boot_generate_digest(). The enabling of R/W protection of secure boot key on EFUSE still happens inside esp_secure_boot_permanently_enable()
* Now esp_secure_boot_permanently_enable() is called only after flash encryption process completes
* esp_secure_boot_generate_digest() is called before flash encryption process starts
Added:
* set a secure version in app/bootloader.
* description anti-rollback to ota part
* emulate the secure_version write and read operations
* efuse_em partition.
* a description about a rollback for native_ota_example.
Closes: TW26335
Added a new structure esp_app_desc_t. It has info about firmware:
version, secure_version, project_name, time/date build and IDF version.
Added the ability to add a custom structure with a description of the firmware.
The esp_app_desc_t is located in fixed place in start of ROM secotor. It is located after structures esp_image_header_t and esp_image_segment_header_t.
app_version is filed from PROJECT_VER variable (if set in custom make file) or PROJECT_PATH/version.txt or git repo (git describe).
Add API to get app_desc from partition.
Allows OTA updates to be secured via signature checks, without requiring the overhead or complexity
of a full secure boot implementation.
Uses same signing mechanisms (build system and/or espsecure.py as Secure Boot).
Requires:
* [ ] More testing
* [ ] Documentation
Added bootloader_common_get_sha256_of_partition() and esp_partition_get_sha256() - get or calculate SHA-256
digest for app and data partitions.
Added bootloader_sha256_hex_to_str() - helps to print SHA-256 digest
Added esp_partition_check_identity() - compares two partitions by SHA-256 digest
Refactoring a function esp_image_load() in bootloader space to esp_image_verify() and
bootloader_load_image(). Old name function esp_image_load is deprecated
and will remove in V4.0 version.
spi_flash/sim: Fix error test_host. Add stub for bootloader_common_get_sha256_of_partition in sim/stubs
IDF had two defines ESP_PARTITION_TABLE_OFFSET and ESP_PARTITION_TABLE_ADDR. They were the same and equal by 0x8000.
A define ESP_PARTITION_TABLE_ADDR was removed from IDF.
A define ESP_PARTITION_TABLE_OFFSET depends on option CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_OFFSET in Kconfig.
Now using only #define ESP_PARTITION_TABLE_OFFSET CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_OFFSET
Allows you to move the partition table, it gives more space for the bootloader.
Added a new utility - parttool.py. This utility can search for the offset and/or size of the partitions by name and type/subtype. Use for getting APP_OFFSET and PHY_DATA_OFFSET.
The linker(esp32.bootloader.ld) made changes that allow you to write a custom bootloader code more.
TW14125
Added feature:
- reset firmware to Factory app.(by long pressing of the button)
- boot Test app. (by long pressing of the button)
- Added feature erase data partitions from factory reset.
TW10281
TW10280
Need to make the bootloader modular so that users can redefine its functional part.
- refactoring and moving functions to the bootloader_support component
- Changed function to `void` bootloader_utility_load_image(...);
TW19596
Makes app image booting more reliable (256-bit rather than 8-bit verification.)
Some measurements, time to boot a 655KB app.bin file and run to app_main() execution.
(All for rev 1 silicon, ie no 340ms spurious WDT delay.)
80MHz QIO mode:
before = 300ms
after = 140ms
40MHz DIO mode:
before = 712ms
after = 577ms
40MHz DIO mode, secure boot enabled
before = 1380ms
after = 934ms
(Secure boot involves two ECC signature verifications (partition table, app) that take approx 300ms each with 80MHz CPU.)
