Hello. I'm trying to generate a ECC keypair (NIST-P256) on #SE050C. But I get an error
I've tried using ssscli
$ ssscli generate ecc 0x7777 NIST_P256
Generating ECC Key Pair at KeyID = 0x00007777, curvetype=NIST_P256

I've augmented 'i2c_a7.c' to print I2C traffic and got the following (i2c messages in cursive):

ERROR! Could not generate ECC Key Pair at KeyID 0x00007777
It looks like after sending the following command over I2C, SE050 stops responding on I2C bus.
5A 00 0E 80 81 61 00 09 41 04 00 00 77 77 42 01 03 5C 5E
The SE050 stops responding to reads from I2C.
Solved! Go to Solution.
> are you using the latest MW?
I'm using v04.01.01 of MW. I think that is the latest to date.
The problem was that power supply for SE050 does not provide enough current during key generations and voltage drops below permissible levels.
@Kan_Li Thank you for the reply, please consider the issue resolved.
Hi @aleksei1 ,
I tried to reproduce your issue here but no success, the ssscli commands work well from my side, are you using the latest MW? what is the dev kit on your hands? Did you modify the ssscli tool or use this tool out of box? Please kindly clarify.
Please have my result as below:
Have a great day,
Kan
