Problem with private key generation in nrfutil

[arjun]

Hi,

I am trouble with private key generation in nrfutil. I am following the tutorial infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp.

When I am giving the command nrfutil keys generate private.pem, it giving me the following error- "Got unexpected extra argument (private.pem)"

When I checked help, its showing the key generation command as "--gen-key" which is different from what is given in the tutorial.When I tried using the following command, its giving me some error such as "Permission Denied".

Hi, Try this (1). nrfutil.exe keys generate priv.pem (2). nrfutil.exe keys display --key pk --format code priv.pem > public_key.c

Thanks Vincent. I tried as you suggested, but still it is giving the same error.

What version of nrfutil are you using? You can see the version by writing

nrfutil version

[arjun]

nrfutil version 2.0.0

Unfortunately I am unable to recreate your error with nrfutil version 2, nor do I find the --gen-key option. Could you try upgrading to a newer version of nrfutil? The latest version is 3.2.1
