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.
Test Apps
This directory contains a set of ESP-IDF projects to be used as tests only, which aim to exercise various configuration of components to check completely arbitrary functionality should it be building only, executing under various conditions or combination with other components, including custom test frameworks.
The test apps are not intended to demonstrate the ESP-IDF functionality in any way.
Test Apps projects
Test applications are treated the same way as ESP-IDF examples, so each project directory shall contain
- Build recipe in cmake and the main component with app sources
- Configuration files,
sdkconfig.ciand similar (see below) - Python test scripts,
pytest_....py(optional)
Test Apps layout
The test apps should be grouped into subdirectories by category. Categories are:
protocolscontains test of protocol interactions.networkcontains system network testssystemcontains tests on the internal chip features, debugging and development tools.securitycontains tests on the chip security features.
CI Behavior
Configuration Files
For each project in test_apps (and also examples):
- If a file
sdkconfig.ciexists then it's built as thedefaultCI config. - If any additional files
sdkconfig.ci.<CONFIG>exist then these are built as alternative configs, with the specified<CONFIG>name.
The CI system expects to see at least a "default" config, so add sdkconfig.ci before adding any sdkconfig.ci.CONFIG files.
- By default, every CI configurations is built for every target SoC (an
m * nconfiguration matrix). However if anysdkconfig.ci.*file contains a line of the formCONFIG_IDF_TARGET="targetname"then that CI config is only built for that one target. This only works insdkconfig.ci.CONFIG, not in the defaultsdkconfig.ci. - Each configuration is also built with the contents of any
sdkconfig.defaultsfile or a file namedsdkconfig.defaults.<TARGET>appended. (Same as a normal ESP-IDF project build.)
Test Apps local execution
Some of the examples have pytest_....py scripts that are using the pytest as the test framework. For detailed information, please refer to the "Run the Tests Locally" Section under ESP-IDF tests in Pytest documentation
