nvs_partition_gen fails on Win10 [SOLVED]

Postby fly135 » Thu Mar 21, 2019 6:14 pm

I do most of my development with IDF v3.1.1 on Win7, and have no problem on it with nvs_partition_gen. But the machine that will be burning devices is Win 10 and it fails because it can't find crypto related libraries.
File "C:/Leeo/esp-idf-v3.1.1/components/nvs_flash/nvs_partition_generator/nvs_partition_gen.py", line 29, in <module>
from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers import Cipher, algorithms, modes
ImportError: No module named cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers
I've run the tools/windows/windows_requirements.sh to completion, but it still doesn't work. running pip list shows no crypto package...

I tried running pip download cryptography, but it fails trying to use the PC gcc to compile something.

Hello fly135!

The cryptography package cannot be installed by pip on MSYS. It can be installed by:

Code: Select all

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-python2-cryptography
But you probably have this since you've run

Code: Select all

windows_install_prerequisites.sh
You need to use python provided by

Code: Select all

mingw-w64-i686-python2
to have the installed cryptography package available. The output of

Code: Select all

which python
must be:

Code: Select all

/mingw32/bin/python
Probably you don't have it but you can manually set to use this python in menuconfig SDK tool configuration -> Python 2 interpreter.

That worked, but the tool still fails. Which Python returned the correct information.
$ pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-python2-cryptography

Re: nvs_partition_gen fails on Win10

Just noticed that it's a different missing module... enum
File "C:/msys32/mingw32/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/exceptions.py", line 7, in <module>
from enum import Enum
ImportError: No module named enum
pip list on my win7 machine shows enum34 installed.

EDIT: This is the final fix....

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-python2-enum

Now the NVS partition generator works.

Need to do these two things in win10, as it appear the requirements script doesn't work correctly on 10 with IDF v3.1.1

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-python2-cryptography
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-python2-enum
