Pull Request Overview
Use the local board feature in tockloader to flash the kernel and apps all at once.
You'll love the solution I came up with for this. The esptool needs a very specific format to flash apps the bootloader will run. The only way in esptool v5+ to create the format is to convert an elf. We want to make a binary file that has the kernel code and apps in the same file. SO, this converts our local board binary file to an elf, then uses that elf to create the esp32c3 image, which we then flash.
Testing Strategy
Running both blink and buttons on the board.
