(Solved) Encryption. Reflash app

Postby brp80000 » Sun Jan 13, 2019 1:31 pm

I'm trying to set up flash data encryption with pregeneration key.
1. key generation
espsecure.py generate_flash_encryption_key my_flash_encryption_key.bin
2. Burning key and its protection from read-write
espefuse.py --port COM72 burn_key flash_encryption my_flash_encryption_key.bin
3. Compile and flash data with the option (Enable flash encryption on boot) installed
4. Burn the flash encryption fuse
espefuse.py --port COM72 burn_efuse FLASH_CRYPT_CNT
After that, the app works fine.
Then I try to update the app via UART
5. Compile and flash data with option (enable flash encryption on boot) disabled
6. Encoding APP firmware keyed
espsecure.py encrypt_flash_data --keyfile my_flash_encryption_key.bin --address 0x10000 -o build/app-encrypted.bin build/app.bin
7. Flash it
esptool.py --port COM72 --baud 921600 write_flash 0x10000 build/app-encrypted.bin
My app no longer works

Why can't I reflash the app that went wrong?

I can say that flashing through the UART with a pre-generated encryption key does not work. I've tried it many times. I flash encrypted and unencrypted with offset 0 and with the necessary offset 0x10000 also I tried to set FLASH_CRYPT_CONFIG to zero and other values, then encrypt and flash encrypted firmware via UART. I have never been able to succeed in reprogramming encrypted flash with encoding enabled. I messed up 4 chips completely but there are 2 more pieces. Who has ideas for experiments?
Where can I get paid technical support if no one here can help?

Thank you all for your help. It seems that the documentation is made specifically for you to screw up a few chips to increase sales)))
