Creating esp32 image failes since compiler update? (IDFGH-7593)

[0xFEEDC0DE64]

I'm compiling our existing firmware repo and after switching to the newest esp-idf version I got thousands of compiler errors, seems like gcc was finally updated from 8.4.0 to 11.2 (yea!).

But now after fixing all my compiler errors and linker errors I fail at the last step?

Creating esp32 image...
Merged 25 ELF sections

A fatal error occurred: secure_pad only applies if a SHA-256 digest is also appended to the image
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

We are using secure boot and flash encryption

Check that ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_DETECT ("Detect flash size when flashing bootloader") is disabled.

There was a recent change to the default value for this (y->n), and --dont-append-digest is now passed to elf2image when set.

This means that most existing projects will now rebuild without appending a SHA256 to the image after updating IDF as their sdkconfig will have ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_DETECT set by default.

thanks, that fixed it.

Thanks for confirming this is indeed the case. Will keep this issue open until the fix is released.
