Ability to compile custom default rom map (or full config) directly into the code instead of providing separate struct to flash at the config location. Especially if for some reason the config gets corrupted during operation, with this approach a compatible default map is written whereas with the currently supported method only the hardcoded default would be written...
To enable, define BOOT_CONFIG_DEFAULTS in the rboot-integration.h and add a function that sets the default values. Simplistic rboot-integration.h for just this purpose could look like this:
#ifndef __RBOOT_INTEGRATION_H__
#define __RBOOT_INTEGRATION_H__
#include "..\rboot\rboot-private.h"
#define BOOT_CONFIG_DEFAULTS
void set_defaults(rboot_config *romconf) {
romconf->count = 4;
romconf->roms[0] = 0x010000;
romconf->roms[1] = 0x100000;
romconf->roms[2] = 0x200000;
romconf->roms[3] = 0x300000;
}
#endif

Actually an even better approach would be to define the ROM number for the fallback ROM dynamically similar to the GPIO ROM number. The two unused bytes in the config struct would be a good place to do so. This would allow for OTA updates of the fallback itself as well leveraging another unused slot and then switching the fallback ROM number if successfully updated... |

I've moved OTA capabilities and a lot of other one time or rare case functionality (like AP with mini webserver for first time configuration of SSID/PW) into one dedicated ROM instead of duplicating that functionality in all ROMs wasting space. To properly select the last good ROM, the bootloader needs to be aware of this setup and pick the next ROM to check accordingly. I've added a new flag similar to the ERASE_SDKCONFIG flag to facilitate this - could be done via defines as well as I don't expect this behavior to change after design time. If another ROM wants to switch to this functionality, it can set the temp ROM in RTC-mem and force a soft-reboot e.g. forcing a watchdog timeout in an endless loop.
