SPI operation failed when flashing .crt being not multiple of 4 #440

Closed alessio-perugini closed 9 months ago

alessio-perugini commented 1 year ago

:wave: I was trying to flash a x509 certificate bundle in a .crt format to 0x3c0000 address. Unfortunately, the tool returns the following error:

Error: × The bootloader returned an error ├─▶ Error while running FlashDeflateEnd command ╰─▶ SPI operation failed

Talking to other guys on the team we hypothesized that we could have some padding problems, so I added a few bytes at the end. Surprisingly making the .crt file multiple of 4 solved the problem, and the espflash worked perfectly!

stat -c %s google.crt before after
3649 Bytes 3652 Bytes

Steps to reproduce the problem

openssl s_client -showcerts -connect google.com:443 </dev/null | sed -n -e '/-.BEGIN/,/-.END/ p' > google.pem
openssl x509 -outform der -in google.pem -out google.crt
espflash write-bin -p /dev/ttyACM0 -b 921600 0x3C0000 google.crt

Hi! I just tried reproducing the issue and I was not able to:

❯ openssl s_client -showcerts -connect google.com:443 </dev/null | sed -n -e '/-.BEGIN/,/-.END/ p' > google.pem

depth=2 C = US, O = Google Trust Services LLC, CN = GTS Root R1
verify return:1
depth=1 C = US, O = Google Trust Services LLC, CN = GTS CA 1C3
verify return:1
depth=0 CN = *.google.com
verify return:1
DONE

❯ openssl x509 -outform der -in google.pem -out google.crt

❯ espflash write-bin -p /dev/ttyACM0 -b 921600 0x3C0000 google.crt

I am using espflash with that latest main changes (commit 71d7a63). We did some changes in main, could you try reproducing it with this espflash version (cargo install espflash --git https://github.com/esp-rs/espflash --force) and see if the issue still persists for you @alessio-perugini?

@SergioGasquez Tested on 71d7a63 now it's working flawlessly! :rocket:

EDIT: I did a little bit a git bisect and found out that the first commit that fixes the problem is: 775e22275b30f952457978b0c38e64942233e734
