Laczen opened a new pull request, #3062:
URL: https://github.com/apache/nuttx-apps/pull/3062
Add the possibility to create a `romfs` image for an "external" file system.
The `romfs.img` can directly be written to a configurable `mtdblock` device.
## Summary
The elf loader can also be used to generate a `romfs.img` that contains
applications. This `romfs.img` can be written directly to a internal `mtdblock`
device. The example then provides a method to separate `kernel` from
applications and
allows recompilation and update of the `romfs` without a kernel update.
## Impact
None, it is an extra sample configuration.
## Testing
Tested on `esp32_devkitc:elf`. The romfs.img is copied to mtdblock0 using
(0x180000 is the start of mtdblock0):
```
esptool.py write_flash 0x180000 nuttx/apps/examples/elf/tests/romfs.img
```
The test is then performed as:
```console
nsh> elf
Initial memory usage: 13908
