Thank you for prompt response. Yes, I looked into replicating the way bootloader is built, but it is too proprietary and hard to extend. In my case, the bootloader app is essentially static (it is intentionally not doing anything clever and is kept as simple as possible), so bastardising ESP-IDF built (with all the potential future incompatibilities) for the sake of it does not justify the effort – I totally agree with your accessment.
Saying that, is there a simple way in VisualGDB to automatically replicate certain settings (eg sdkconfig, some properties, board settings, etc) between two projects? Eg I have multiple firmware projects built and tested against the same board setup (which is a custom board which is manufactured for us by third-parties). This board is used for several different products (with different connected sensors and processing logic, but shared comm protocols, etc). With one exception, all products share the same core ESP-IDF configuration, use same libraries, etc.
BTW, factory app is the same for all products – it connects to secure server with device specific credentials and the server returns it OTA image specific to this particular product.
