As a less strict method to retain_last, now also the retain_past deployment option exists. In the retain_past mode the partition to preserve must not be part of the initial image. It can retain the content of any last partition if its start address is past the OS image. However, a gap in the partition table between the OS end and the start of the retained partition can occur for which this commit does not provide a resize method yet.

@davidcassany inspired by our conversation I was coding the changes to allow retaining any last partition for the use case you described. This is just a draft PR and I haven't done testing of the feature in an adequate way. I'd like to seek your feedback what you think about it. Also see comments in code that I made. Thanks much |
