esptool Python module is a collection of libs and scripts to interact
with the bootloader on Espressif SoCs. The Python module happens to
provide three useful scripts: esptool, espefuse and espsecure. esptool
is the backbone of communication with the Espressif SoC's bootloader.
espefuse is useful when one needs to burn fuses or read the current fuse
state. Finally, espsecure is a tool for setting up Espressif
implementation of secure boot on their SoC.
espsecure depends on python3-cryptography which is a Rust-based Python
module, making it a heavy tool dependency-wise which is the reason why
the scripts have been split in their own package so that people only
interested in esptool script have the smallest possible dependency
chain.
This unfortunately does not work because all runtime dependencies of all
packages in a recipe are built regardless if they're included in the
image or not. So while this allows for slimmer images, it doesn't save
compile time.
So I can suggest a few things:
- simple recipe with one package with esptool, espefuse and espsecure,
- keep it as is, slimmer image when one installs esptool only,
- one recipe for esptool, another recipe for espefuse and espsecure,
slimmer image + fastest compile time if esptool-only required, more
complex upgrade path (need to make sure esptool and espefuse+espsecure
versions are kept in sync) and less maintainer/user-friendly,
- make espefuse/espsecure inclusion and their runtime dependencies
manageable via PACKAGECONFIG, slimmer image + fastest compile time +
"simple" recipe, PACKAGECONFIG changed via bbappend (so inclusion of a
layer modifying it changes the package for every image) or configuration
file (which I'm not sure makes a lot of sense?),
What are your thoughts on this?

Missing a few runtime dependencies. I had only tested with all packages
installed and python3-cryptography was bringing those dependencies in.
Cheers,
Quentin
