Introduction

Driver for Microchip’s ATECCx08 cryptographic co-processors with secure hardware-based key storage.

Note: This library was developed and tested with an ATECC608A, but should work for ATECC508 modules as well.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.

Installing from PyPI

Note

This library is not available on PyPI yet. Install documentation is included as a standard element. Stay tuned for PyPI availability!

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-atecc

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-atecc

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-atecc
