ECDSA based Secure Boot V2 is not functional for certain input vectors on
ESP32-C5/C61/H2/P4 and on the preview targets ESP32-H4/H21. RSA based Secure
Boot V2 is the recommended scheme where the SoC supports it. This issue will be
fixed in a future hardware ECO revision; more details will be shared through the
hardware errata document.
A new hidden Kconfig option SECURE_BOOT_V2_ECDSA_INSECURE marks the affected
mass-production SoCs (ESP32-C5/C61/H2/P4). On these SoCs, when hardware Secure
Boot V2 is enabled, the ECDSA (V2) signing scheme is no longer offered by
default; it must be turned on explicitly via SECURE_BOOT_V2_FORCE_ENABLE_ECDSA
under "Allow potentially insecure options" (CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_INSECURE). App
signing without hardware Secure Boot is not affected. Note that ESP32-C61 has no
RSA based Secure Boot V2, so it has no Secure Boot scheme enabled by default.
The preview targets ESP32-H4 and ESP32-H21 mark ECDSA Secure Boot V2 as not
supported in their SoC capabilities instead of using the option above. As
ESP32-H4 has no other Secure Boot V2 scheme, Secure Boot is disabled entirely on
it; ESP32-H21 retains RSA based Secure Boot V2.
The security documentation keeps the ECDSA Secure Boot V2 content visible and
adds a warning describing the limitation (including that ECDSA Secure Boot V2 on
ESP32-C61 is not recommended for production). CI apps that exercise ECDSA Secure
Boot V2 on the affected SoCs set CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_V2_FORCE_ENABLE_ECDSA
accordingly.
The CMakeLists injects CONFIG_ESP_REV_MIN_FULL and CONFIG_XTAL_FREQ on
the command line because those symbols live in esp_common's Kconfig,
which is outside the G0 closure and is not loaded during a restricted
COMPONENTS build. When every discovered component's Kconfig is processed
(IDF_BUILD_V2) the symbols are already defined via their Kconfig
defaults, and the additional -D would conflict with the existing
definition.
Gate the injection so it only runs when the Kconfig is not processed.
g1_components builds a minimal COMPONENTS list. When every component's
Kconfig is processed, components/vfs/Kconfig sets VFS_SUPPORT_IO=y by
default, and the conditional requires in esp_stdio and esp_libc pull
vfs, esp_driver_uart, and their transitive deps into the closure.
Add an sdkconfig.defaults that forces the symbol off so the dependency
graph stays restricted to the components actually under test.
expected_dep_violations only listed the edges visible when
idf_component_optional_requires was a no-op for the dependency graph.
Under build system v2's DEFERRED mode the call propagates the resolved
dependency back into PRIV_REQUIRES, and the graph also captures
esp_common -> {efuse, bootloader_support, app_update} and esp_system ->
esp_app_format.
Add those entries so the script does not flag them when IDF_BUILD_V2
is set.
test(ci): re-enable ESP32-H4 in core system test apps
Closes IDF-15602, IDF-15604, IDF-15605, IDF-15606, and IDF-15612
See merge request espressif/esp-idf!48454
PMP entry 3 (SOC_DROM_MASK_HIGH, TOR mode) in the memprot path
was incorrectly granted RW permission on esp32h21 and esp32c61.
The mask ROM data region is inherently read-only; remove the W bit.
Also added necessary tests to check voilations and re-enabled
tests for ESP32P4
Add a new CMake function esp_partition_flash_binary() that provides a
unified API for registering partition data binaries to be flashed. It
replaces the direct esptool_py_flash_target calls scattered across
components (spiffs, fatfs, nvs_flash) with a single function that:
- Resolves partition offset from the partition table automatically
- Determines encryption requirements (auto-detect or ALWAYS_PLAINTEXT)
- Creates per-partition flash targets (e.g. idf.py <partition>-flash)
- Optionally includes the binary in `idf.py flash` via FLASH_IN_PROJECT
On the linux target, the function registers binaries for pre-loading
into the emulated flash. A build-time manifest (linux_flash_data.txt)
is generated via file(GENERATE), and partition_linux.c reads it at
runtime to copy each binary into the memory-mapped flash buffer at
the correct offset.
The partition_ops example is updated to use the new function and
includes a custom_partition with pre-built data to demonstrate the
full workflow, including on the linux target.
Use real CI config names and minimal config aliases so these tests are
collected and built again instead of silently being skipped.
