XML file password with TrustedPackageCreator CLI

[peter7]

Hello,

the STM32TrustedPackageCreator supports the obk-file-generation via CLI:

STM32TrustedPackageCreator_CLI.exe -obk C:\OBKey.xml

This requires a xml-file. The gui-version allows the generation directly from a password. Is this also possible via CLI?

Best regards,

Peter

Hello @peter7,

Could you please clarify what you mean by directly from a password? to use a password with GUI you need to use an XML file that contains it. Either way the password has to be updated inside the xml file. 

The only OBKeys command using CLI is: 

-obk, --obk [<File_Name>]: Path of input XML File

Thanks,

Amine.

Hello Amine,

I read the documentation for the CLI tool. As you mentioned, there is only this one option regarding the obk-file.

However, in the gui-tool, there exists the possibility to enter the password and get the obk-file without the need for an xml-file.

I was hoping that there is another CLI-option to avoid the xml-file. Something like this:

STM32TrustedPackageCreator_CLI.exe -obk-from-pwd "0123456789012345"

Best regards,

Peter

Hello @peter7,

You are correct. I was referring to the OBK-file generation via the security panel, which requires an XML file as input. Regarding the DA OBK file generation, the tool automatically imports the password from the XML file located under ".../bin/DA_OBKeyGen_xml" after selecting the MCU and DA type and allow you to modify it there.

I have submitted a ticket to the development team in order to support this using CLI also.

Thanks,

Hello Amine,

thank you for your answer. Although it was not what I hoped for, I now know that I have to use the xml-file.

Thanks,

Peter
