ECDSA Example Requires Bluetooth to be enabled in KConfig to work on nRF52832... Bug?

[kjkearney]

Discovered on SDK v2.6.0 (latest at time of posting)

Was trying this sample on my nRF52dk board, but was getting a "peripheral not configured" error on key generation. Some debugging led me to find that the psa_generate_random() function was failing to be enabled. I knew it worked on another project of mine, and I eventually realized that if I added "CONFIG_BT=y" to the prj.conf, RNG would be enabled correctly. This sounds like unintentional behavior to me.

Hi,

Thank you for reporting. The entropy generator (using the nRF RNG) is not automatically selected, which is a bug. We will look into that and fix it for future releases, but for now you can select it expliclity by adding CONFIG_ENTROPY_GENERATOR=y to your prj.conf.
