   I think one of the biggest reasons that I don't see this as a big deal is 
that I see the nsh shell as very similar to the uboot shell. The uboot shell 
offers these all by default.
   
   While you certainly can try to offer the shell and lock down firmware 
access, you have given up a lot at that point.  You really should be looking at 
using a MPU to provide the extra isolation as Greg mentioned but that does not 
exist for many of these chips.

   These days I think most people focus on things like firmware signing for 
integrity over trying to prevent dumping. There are very few chips that cannot 
be dumped these days, even many of the ones that support encrypted firmware 
have had that broken.
