Invalid Header when enabling flash encryption

I am trying to enable flash encryption (without secure boot). Wrover E (16MB flash, 8MB spiram) with the aws freertos esp tool chain.

I have moved the partition table to 0xA000 and verified the system flashes and boots correctly (to make room for the bootloader).

I then did a menuconfig to set the encryption flag to build the encryption bootloader.

Code: Select all

# Security features
#
# CONFIG_SECURE_SIGNED_APPS_NO_SECURE_BOOT is not set
# CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT is not set
CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENC_ENABLED=y
# CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE_DEVELOPMENT is not set
CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE_RELEASE=y
And then do a full erase and flash of all the binaries and I get continuous invalid header and reboots

Code: Select all

rst:0x10 (RTCWDT_RTC_RESET),boot:0x33 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
invalid header: 0x5be26a30
invalid header: 0x5be26a30
invalid header: 0x5be26a30
invalid header: 0x5be26a30
invalid header: 0x5be26a30
invalid header: 0x5be26a30
invalid header: 0x5be26a30

Am I missing a step? Do I need to set a fuse manually somewhere?

I should clarify that I can erase the flash and put the original firmware (with encryption not set in menu config) and it boots up and works fine.

Update:

The problem seems to have solved itself while I slept...I dont know that I did anything differently than I was doing last night but maybe a more attentive build (moving partition table and ensuring the flash address lined up) and adding the erase flash immediately before the command to flash the binaries.
