The directory `dist/tools/esptool` already contains a couple of ESP tools and not only esptool.py. As the location for a couple of ESP related tools, it is more clear to call it `esptools` instead of `esptool`.
Checksumming flash is not supported on xtensa platform:
Warn : not implemented yet
make: *** [.../RIOT/examples/saul/../../Makefile.include:796: flash] Error 1
Redirecting `2>&1 >/dev/null` moves stderr to stdout first and then
stdout to /dev/null; when checking for command existence or otherwise
silencing output, this is usually not desired (but only starts producing
errors when the actual command fails, which is often not tested).
The partition table of the device in the esp8266 and esp32 based boards
was set to a default table with one "factory" partition with exactly
the size of the compiled firmware. This is problematic if we want to
update the device on the field.
This patch allows to set the `PARTITION_TABLE_CSV` variable from the
Makefile to a .csv file with a custom partition table, for example this
could be set to a partition table with two ota entries, or with a single
factory entry but of a known fixed size.
While nice at first, this causes more issues than it's worth for
a slightly more pretty output.
Hiding information from developers is not a good idea, especially when
it comes to an often finicky programming step.
While in theory error output should be caught, there are enough
cases where the programmer will get stuck in a loop or require user
input that hiding programmer output by default is a bad idea.
The current script don't allow change debug protocol and not allows
set proper part name for xmega. This make DEBUGPROTO optional with
JTAG as default protocol. It add a filter for atxmega to add proper
AVRDUDE_PROGRAMMER_FLAGS.

When multiple debuggers are connected then pyocd shows an interactive
UI to select the user interface to flash, with python wrapper this
is lost.
Until a similar functionality is implemented with the wrapper disable
the programmer wrapper script when pyocd is used.
`cosy` is a graphical memory usage analyzer.
It is a great tool, but pretty hidden.
Add it as a build target so it can be easiely summoned for any application and board.
