failed in compiling DFU Secure Bootloader with uECC

[StefXinet]

Dear Nordic,

we are developing DFU Secure  bootloader for a nRF52832 based HW.

We are starting from the "\examples\dfu\secure_bootloader". First of all, we succesfully compiled the uECC library "micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.lib" for keil, than we added them to the keil project.

We disabled the other backend (NRF_CRYPTO_BACKEND_NRF_SW_ENABLED=0) and added NRF_DFU_DEBUG_VERSION to the global compiler #define

The issue is that when we compile the example we got 2 errors:

.\_build\nrf52832_xxaa_s132.axf: Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol g_nrf_crypto_hash_sha256_info (referred from nrf_dfu_validation.o).
.\_build\nrf52832_xxaa_s132.axf: Error: L6218E: Undefined symbol nrf_crypto_hash_calculate (referred from nrf_dfu_validation.o).

So it seems that nrf_dfu_validation.c needs those global vars defined outside, but they are not defined in uECC library.

Could you help me, please?

Hi,

The DFU/Bootloader solution uses Hash/SHA256-functions to verify the integrity of the received DFU image. You need to enable another backend that supports Hash, as this is not supported in µECC (which only supports ECC).

Best regards,
Jørgen

Dear Jørgen,

so the Secure DFU example doesn't support ECC. Could you explain me why I should include uECC library it and compile separately \external\micro-ecc\nrf52nf_keil\armgcc\micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.lib ?

Why I need uECC if your bootloader does not support it? There iis something not clear in the tutorials...

I read the following tutorials:

BLE Secure DFU Bootloader
micro_ecc backend

Thanks for help
