Ivan Grokhotkov c15579fd85 examples: fix flash encryption example test 
Commit 5e8795eebe has changed the partition table offset, which
has resulted in the ciphertext not matching the one expected in the
example test.
Fix by calculating the ciphertext using espsecure.py.

Flash Encryption

The example checks if the flash encryption feature is enabled/disabled and if enabled prints the flash encryption mode (DEVELOPMENT / RELEASE) and FLASH_CRYPT_CNT eFuse value.

The example also demonstrates writing and reading encrypted partitions in flash.

How to use example

Hardware Required

Configure the project

idf.py menuconfig
  • Enable the flash encryption mode (Development or Release) under Security Features. Default usage mode is Development (recommended during test and development phase).

Note: After enabling flash encryption, the bootloader size increases, which means that the offset of the partition table must be changed to 0x9000 from 0x8000 to prevent the bootloader from overlapping with the partition table. In this example, the default offset of the partition table is 0x9000.

Build and Flash

When building the project and flashing it to the board FOR THE FIRST TIME after enabling flash encryption feature in menuconfig, run following command to program ESP32 and monitor the output:

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

When reprogramming the device subsequently use following command for encrypted write of new plaintext application:

idf.py -p PORT encrypted-app-flash monitor

Please note above command programs only the app partition. In order to reprogram all partitions (bootloader, partition table and application) in encrypted form use:

idf.py -p PORT encrypted-flash monitor

Example Output

When running the example without enabling flash encryption, the output would be as follows:

Example to check Flash Encryption status
This is ESP32 chip with 2 CPU cores, WiFi/BT/BLE, silicon revision 0, 2MB external flash
FLASH_CRYPT_CNT eFuse value is 0
Flash encryption feature is disabled

After enabling flash encryption in Development mode, the output shows the process of enabling the flash encryption:

I (168) boot: Checking flash encryption...
I (168) flash_encrypt: Generating new flash encryption key...
I (187) flash_encrypt: Read & write protecting new key...
I (187) flash_encrypt: Setting CRYPT_CONFIG efuse to 0xF
W (188) flash_encrypt: Not disabling UART bootloader encryption
I (195) flash_encrypt: Disable UART bootloader decryption...
I (201) flash_encrypt: Disable UART bootloader MMU cache...
I (208) flash_encrypt: Disable JTAG...
I (212) flash_encrypt: Disable ROM BASIC interpreter fallback...
....
....
....
I (13229) flash_encrypt: Flash encryption completed
I (13229) boot: Resetting with flash encryption enabled...

Once the flash encryption is enabled the device will reset itself. At this stage the flash contents are in encrypted form. The output would be similar to:

Example to check Flash Encryption status
This is ESP32 chip with 2 CPU cores, WiFi/BT/BLE, silicon revision 0, 4MB external flash
FLASH_CRYPT_CNT eFuse value is 1
Flash encryption feature is enabled in DEVELOPMENT mode

Troubleshooting

It is also possible to use esptool.py utility to read the eFuse values and check if flash encryption is enabled or not

python $IDF_PATH/components/esptool_py/esptool/espefuse.py --port PORT summary

If FLASH_CRYPT_CNT eFuse value is non-zero flash encryption is enabled
