Complimentary changes:
1) Partition table definitions files with core dump partition
2) Special sub-type for core dump partition
3) Special version of spi_flash_xxx
4) espcoredump.py is script to get core dump from flash and print useful info
5) FreeRTOS API was extended to get tasks snapshots
Flash encryption support
Flash encryption support in build system, tooling
To come in future MR:
* On-device key generation on first boot (for production devices), need to finalise testing of bootloader entropy seeding.
* spi_flash_encrypted_write to support non-32-byte block writes (at least optionally.)
* I think a lot of the bootloader_support component can possibly be rolled into "spiflash" and other components, to use a common API.
See merge request !240
* App access functions are all flash encryption-aware
* Documentation for flash encryption
* Partition read/write is flash aware
* New encrypted write function
SPI flash hardware sends 52h command, which is a 32KB erase.
There is a matching bug in the ROM SPIEraseArea code, unless
flashchip->block_size is modified first.
ROM SPIWrite routine can work with unaligned sources, so this check is unnecessary.
Furthermore, it breaks nvs_set_str and nvs_get_blob when data pointer is unaligned.
Also fix stray backslash in COUNTER_STOP macro
spi_flash_read and spi_flash_write currently have a limitation that source and destination must be word-aligned.
This can be fixed by adding code paths for various unaligned scenarios, but function signatures also need to be adjusted.
As a first step (since we are pre-1.0 and can still change function signatures) alignment checks are added, and pointer types are relaxed to uint8_t.
Later we will add handling of unaligned operations.
This change also introduces spi_flash_erase_range and spi_flash_get_chip_size functions.
We probably need something like spi_flash_chip_size_detect which will detect actual chip size.
This is to allow single application binary to be used on a variety of boards and modules.
