Hey

I tried to decrypt the nvs partition and unfortunately it doesnt work.

The command is:
python nvs_partition_gen.py read_nvs.bin nvs_key.bin neu.bin

The error message is this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "nvs_partition_gen.py", line 1037, in <module>
main()
File "nvs_partition_gen.py", line 1033, in main
args.func(args)
File "nvs_partition_gen.py", line 800, in decrypt
empty_data_entry = bytearray('\xff') * 32
TypeError: string argument without an encoding

Is there a fault on my side?

Thank you

Hi Alex.

This seems to be an incompatibility issue. We will look into this.

Okay

In the meantime, the workaround is to use temporarily Python 2 or edit "nvs_partition_gen.py", line 800 by adding a "b":

For future reference, commit cb0bdb8bba774c0d5a670f73a23ca882dfddd2b6 will solve this issue and will be backported to all release branches.

Thank you
