Secure provisioning tool fails at startup

[Ylitalo]

I have freshly installed Win10 Pro (English - Finland,Sweden...) computer and i'm trying to setup toolchain our toolchain.

Secure provisioning tool flashes the command box and then fails without possibility to read the command content. Using cmd to launch securep results the same behaviour.

=> running the cmd as administrator and running the securep gives:

C:\nxp\MCUX_Provi_v3\bin>securep

Things are going to break, please only change locale by creating wxLocale objects to avoid this!

I also have this issue, can the wxWidgets dependency get bumped?

The issue @ https://github.com/xraypy/xraylarch/pull/306 seems to have a fix.

Hello,

which version of Secure Provisioning tool do you use? See bellow Marek's response that it has been fixed in V3.1.

Regards,

Libor

I tried both V3 and V3.1 both have the same result

Hello Pieter,

could you please provide information about

1. your current locale
2. from cmd.exe - could you execute the securep.exe so we can see whether the stack is the same or different

Thank you,

Libor

[pdgendt]

Sure,

Systeminfo part:

System Locale: en-gb;English (United Kingdom)
Input Locale: en-us;English (United States)

Hi pdgendt,

we have tried on different machines, but we still cannot reproduce your issue. Could you provide additional details/screenshots with computer settings?

It seems the original issue is still fixed, however, there might be any other configuration, which does not work. We'd need to reproduce the issue, to be sure, we can fix it.

Thank your for your help

[pdgendt]

I'd like to help, but I'm not sure what other info you need to be able to reproduce it.

Any suggestions besides the following?
OS: window 10 pro 64bit
python: v3.9.0
Secure provisioning tool: v3.1

[marek-trmac]

Hi, could you please send screenshot of your settings from:

Windows - Settings - Time&Language - Region

and

Windows - Settings - Time&Language - Language

[pdgendt]

Hi Marek, here are the screenshots

[marek-trmac]

Hi Pieter,

thank you very much for fast response. I can reproduce the problem now and it will be fixed in next version.

As a workaround, please select United States as Region and also Regional Format.

We are sorry for inconvenience.

Hi Ylitalo,

this issue should be fixed in version 3.1, that was just released.

[Ylitalo]

Ok, So the windows locale needs to be US or UK...

1. This is not the way to do things

2. If there is such limitation it should be stated on the documentation IN LARGE PRINT

[marek-trmac]

Hi Ylitalo,

updated: I have reproduced the issue today. It seems SPT does not start if regional format is not listed in https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.1.4/language_8h.html

Workaround: select format from the list of supported languages.

We're sorry for inconvenience.

Regards

Marek

Hello Ylitalo,

it seems as known bug of 3rd party code (wxWidgets/Python) with self-explanation title "Avoid WX non-US locales issue on Windows" - https://github.com/xraypy/xraylarch/pull/306

I did my best, still I cannot reproduce, even tried combination different Regions and Locales. And the app still can be executed.

Could you please make screenshots when it does not work? Because there can be more combinations. I mean:

Settings | Time and Language - Region

- what is Region?

- what is Locale?

Settings | Time and Language - Language

- what is the System Language of windows

Thank you and regards,

Libor

Hello Ylitalo,

we'll investigate if there's a better workaround than switching completely the computer local and we'll let you know.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Libor
