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.

1. Bootloader reads SPI configuration from bin header, so that the burning configuration can be different with compiling configuration.
2. Psram mode init will overwrite original flash speed mode, so that users can change psram and flash speed after OTA. 3. Flash read mode(QIO/DIO…) will not be changed in app bin. It is decided by bootloader, OTA can not change this mode.
4. Add read flash ID function, and save flash ID in g_rom_flashchip
5. Set drive ability for all related GPIOs
6. Check raise VDDSDIO voltage in 80Mhz mode
7. Add check flash ID and update settings in bootloader
8. Read flash ID once and keep in global variable
9. Read flash image header once and reuse the result
Tested cases:
1. Test new and old version of bootloader
boot Flash 20M —> app Flash 80M + Psram 80M
boot Flash 40M —> app Flash 80M + Psram 80M
boot Flash 80M —> app Flash 80M + Psram 80M
boot Flash 20M —> app Flash 80M + Psram 40M
boot Flash 40M —> app Flash 80M + Psram 40M
boot Flash 80M —> app Flash 80M + Psram 40M
boot Flash 20M —> app Flash 40M + Psram 40M
boot Flash 40M —> app Flash 40M + Psram 40M
boot Flash 80M —> app Flash 40M + Psram 40M 2. Working after esp_restart reboot.
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(...);

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
