Strange MCUBoot behaviour on ESP32

[LB-ITP]

Hey Everyone,

hopefully someone can help me or least point in the right direction.
I am using Zephyr Version 4.2.99 on a custom board with an ESP32-Wrover-E. module. I am using mcuBoot to boot an application image which worked quite well for a while, but then I added some additional code to my application and suddenly I can no longer boot my application.

Everytime MCUboot reaches esp_rom_flash_unmmap in load_segment it jumps to spi_flash_encrypt_ll_plaintext_save and freezes. I suspected some stack corruption, so I increased the MAIN_STACK_SIZE (mcuboot) to the maximum possible. So far no success.
If I change the code I added to my application (or even add more code), mcuBoot jumps to another flash related method.

Is there anyone that already faced such problems?

Which MCUboot? There are normal Zephyr port and there is the Espressif Port.

Can you provide additional logging from mcuboot boot and/or app boot (the working version)? Would be good to check the flash area mapped.
