    Informative, but if you’re building ordinary consumer hardware please don’t enable secure boot on your ESP32 device. There’s a thriving ecosystem of open source software (for example ESPHome) that gives flexibility to how a device is used and long term support long after your project or company has failed. We don’t need more electronic landfill rubbish when motivated individuals could tinker with them instead.
