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.
- Example CA certificates that are used for self-signed client certificates
need to include the Key Usage parameter.
- Python3.13 changed the default context of the SSL context that is
generated using ssl.create_default_context() by enabling the VERIFY_X509_STRICT
flag by default
This commit updates the following:
- Updates the panic handler to use only the RTC WDT to reset the system.
- Refactors some of the panic handler code.
- Updates Bluetooth files where in they now feed the WDTs instead of
reconfiguring them.
- Removes some unnecessary configuration of WDTs from various files.
- Added a unit test to verify that the system does not lock up when the
panic handler is stuck.
- Updates the memprot unit tests to work with the refactored panic
handler.

NMI interrupt level has been freed for all the Xtensa targets, making it possible
for the main application to use it. An example has been added to show how to
proceed.
This feature is useful for 3rd-party software to run GDB with predefined
options that described in project_description.json file
allow to pass custom options to "idf.py gdb":
--gdb-commands: command line arguments for gdb. (without changes)
-ex: pass command to gdb.
-x: pass gdbinit file to gdb. Alias for old --gdbinit command
Probably GCC-13.x and on-wards uses "-fmerge-constants" to merge
the const section (string/floating-point) across compilation units.
This makes it difficult to properly analyze the size output of rodata
section across libraries, the merged section (big in size) is showed
across a single library.
The config option added here can help to disable this compiler behavior
and help to provide better size analysis. It can be used during
development phase only as it increases rodata section size.
