# esp_partition_register_target
#
# @brief Register a binary file to be flashed to a named partition.
#
# Creates a per-partition flash target (e.g., ``idf.py <partition>-flash``) and optionally
# includes the binary in ``idf.py flash``. Automatically resolves the partition offset from
# the partition table and determines encryption requirements.
#
# @note On the 'linux' target, this function registers the binary for pre-loading into
# the emulated flash image. The ALWAYS_PLAINTEXT, FLASH_IN_PROJECT, and
# FLASH_IN_PROJECT_DEPENDENCY_TARGETS options are ignored for 'linux'.
#
# @param[in] partition_name Partition name as defined in the partition table
# @param[in] binary_path Path to the binary image file
# @param[in, optional] ALWAYS_PLAINTEXT (option) If specified, the binary is flashed in plain text even
# when flash encryption is enabled. Must not be used with
# partitions marked as 'encrypted' in the partition table.
# @param[in, optional] DEPENDS (multi value) Additional dependencies of the custom target.
# @param[in, optional] FLASH_IN_PROJECT (option) If specified, the binary is flashed in the project
# when running `idf.py flash`.
# @param[in, optional] FLASH_IN_PROJECT_DEPENDENCY_TARGETS (multi value) Additional targets that will be
# dependent on dependencies set in DEPENDS.
# FLASH_IN_PROJECT has to be set.
#
# Example usage (from spiffs_create_partition_image):
#
# # Create a custom target that generates the SPIFFS image file
# add_custom_target(spiffs_${partition}_bin ALL
# COMMAND ${spiffsgen_py} ${size} ${base_dir} ${image_file}
# ...)
#
# # Flash the generated image to the partition.
# # ALWAYS_PLAINTEXT is used because SPIFFS does not support flash encryption.
# # DEPENDS ensures the image is generated before flashing.

Flashing Binaries to Partitions
-------------------------------
The ``esp_partition_register_target`` function allows registering binary files to be flashed to specific partitions. It creates a per-partition flash target (e.g., ``idf.py mypart-flash``, where ``mypart`` is the name of the partition in ``partitions.csv``) and optionally includes the binary in ``idf.py flash``.
This function is defined in :component_file:`esp_partition/project_include.cmake`.
**Basic usage in a project's CMakeLists.txt:**
.. code-block:: cmake
esp_partition_register_target(my_partition "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/my_data.bin" FLASH_IN_PROJECT)
This creates a ``my_partition-flash`` target and includes the binary when running ``idf.py flash``.
**Arguments:**
- ``partition_name`` — Name of the partition as defined in the partition table.
- ``binary_path`` — Path to the binary file to flash.
- ``FLASH_IN_PROJECT`` (optional) — Also flash this binary when running ``idf.py flash``.
- ``ALWAYS_PLAINTEXT`` (optional) — Flash without encryption even when flash encryption is enabled. Use for filesystems that don't support encryption (e.g., SPIFFS). Must not be used with partitions marked as ``encrypted`` in the partition table.
- ``DEPENDS <targets>`` (optional) — CMake targets that must be built before flashing (e.g., a custom target that generates the binary).
- ``FLASH_IN_PROJECT_DEPENDENCY_TARGETS <targets>`` (optional) — Additional flash targets (e.g., ``encrypted-flash``) that should also depend on the targets specified in ``DEPENDS``. Requires ``FLASH_IN_PROJECT``.
**Component integration examples:**
Several IDF components use ``esp_partition_register_target`` internally:
- :example:`storage/partition_api/partition_ops` uses it to flash a custom partition with predefined content.
- :component_file:`fatfs/project_include.cmake```fatfs_create_spiflash_image`` creates a FATFS image and registers a ``<partition>-flash`` target.
- :component_file:`nvs_flash/project_include.cmake```nvs_create_partition_image`` creates an NVS image and registers a ``<partition>-flash`` target.
- :component_file:`spiffs/project_include.cmake```spiffs_create_partition_image`` creates a SPIFFS image and registers a ``<partition>-flash`` target.

将二进制文件烧录到分区
-------------------------------
``esp_partition_register_target`` 函数允许将二进制文件注册到特定分区进行烧录。它会创建一个按分区划分的烧录目标(例如,``idf.py mypart-flash``,其中 ``mypart````partitions.csv`` 中分区的名称),并可选择将该二进制文件包含在 ``idf.py flash`` 中。
该函数在 :component_file:`esp_partition/project_include.cmake` 中定义。
**在项目的 CMakeLists.txt 中的基本用法:**
.. code-block:: cmake
esp_partition_register_target(my_partition "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/my_data.bin" FLASH_IN_PROJECT)
这会创建一个 ``my_partition-flash`` 目标,并在运行 ``idf.py flash`` 时包含该二进制文件。
**参数:**
- ``partition_name`` — 在分区表中定义的分区名称。
- ``binary_path`` — 要烧录的二进制文件路径。
- ``FLASH_IN_PROJECT`` (可选) — 在运行 ``idf.py flash`` 时也会烧录此二进制文件。
- ``ALWAYS_PLAINTEXT`` (可选) — 即使启用了 flash 加密,仍以非加密方式烧录。用于不支持加密的文件系统(例如 SPIFFS)。不得与分区表中标记为 ``encrypted`` 的分区一起使用。
- ``DEPENDS <targets>`` (可选) — 在烧录之前必须构建的 CMake 目标(例如,生成二进制文件的自定义目标)。
- ``FLASH_IN_PROJECT_DEPENDENCY_TARGETS <targets>`` (可选) — 额外的烧录目标(例如 ``encrypted-flash``),这些目标也应依赖于 ``DEPENDS`` 中指定的目标。需要 ``FLASH_IN_PROJECT``
**组件集成示例:**
某些 IDF 组件在内部使用了 ``esp_partition_register_target``
- 使用 :example:`storage/partition_api/partition_ops` 烧录带有预定义内容的自定义分区。
- :component_file:`fatfs/project_include.cmake```fatfs_create_spiflash_image`` 会创建一个 FATFS 镜像并注册 ``<partition>-flash`` 目标。
- :component_file:`nvs_flash/project_include.cmake```nvs_create_partition_image`` 会创建 NVS 镜像,并注册 ``<partition>-flash`` 目标。
- :component_file:`spiffs/project_include.cmake```spiffs_create_partition_image`` 会创建 SPIFFS 镜像并注册 ``<partition>-flash`` 目标。
