Does NVS library support flash encryption?

Postby luchot » Mon Oct 09, 2017 6:20 pm

In the section about "Flash Encryption" the documentation says:
“NVS” partitions for non-volatile storage cannot be encrypted.
http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... ption.html
But in the NVS documentation is specified:
NVS is compatible with the ESP32 flash encryption system, and it can store key-value pairs in an encrypted form.

Can we get this addressed. Clearly the documentation is not in agreement with the readme on the NVS component.

Hi,

Unfortunately,the documentation is correct. Currently we do not support NVS on encrypted partitions. However, someone is working on this support right now.

The content in the README is some notes about the NVS flash encryption storage protocol and the compatibility of various parts with flash encryption. Will modify the README so this is clear.

Hi Angus,

Is nvs partition with encrypted partition still not supported?
How about other partitions storage fat file system? Does it work with encrypted partition bin.
