Examples

The following are a list of examples for lib.microchip.ateccx08a.

Ping example

The simplest example to be tried for starting with the Zerynth ATECCx08A library and the ATECC508A crypto element.

Simply read the Revision bytes of the chip, checking if they are the expected ones.

    This module can be used an easy check device correct functioning.
