Description Tomasz "CeDeROM" CEDRO 2024-10-11 01:07:37 UTC 
Hello world :-)

esptool 4.7.0 that we have in the ports as the latest version produces invalid firmware images [1] when used by elf2image with --ram-only-header. This is used by "simple boot" mode to redirect ESP32 BootROM to use hardware initialization routines from provided firmware image. This is used when producing final firmware image of an RTOS (i.e. NuttX or Zephyr) that performs hardware initialization on its own to have full control over the process. Problem is caused by overlapping regions in the resulting firmware image and fixed in version 4.8 [2].

As esptool 4.8.1 is already out [3] would it be possible to update port to the latest version? :-)

Thanks :-)
Tomek
