ATECC508A INTEGER POINTER *data ??

[Kisen]

Hi,

I am starting work on some code for authentication using an ATECC608A

Sparkfun have a decent write up on this chip, if anyone is interested.

My question relates to how they create their arguments... they have a * before them like this

Code: Select all

uint8_t *publicKey

But the public key is actually 64 bytes in size, which cant fit in a uint8. The comments refer to it as an integer pointer...

Can i use this method in flowcode? I have never seen it used before...

Hello,

Yes the easiest way in flowcode is to create a byte array. e.g. data[64]

The square brackets force the variable to be an array of values and this will act like the pointer value in Arduino.
