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
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.)
* App access functions are all flash encryption-aware
* Documentation for flash encryption
* Partition read/write is flash aware
* New encrypted write function
