Self-signed cert generation errors out on some slots

[scarolan]

I'm using this on an ESP32 device (M5Stack Core2 for AWS). The error message isn't very specific. Here's what I get trying to use slot 0 and storage slot 8:

Please enter the issue year of the certificate? (2000 - 2031) [2022]:
Please enter the issue month of the certificate? (1 - 12) [1]:
Please enter the issue day of the certificate? (1 - 31) [1]:
Please enter the issue hour of the certificate? (0 - 23) [0]:
Please enter how many years the certificate is valid for? (1 - 31) [1]:
What slot would you like to use for the private key? (0 - 4) [2]: 0
What slot would you like to use for storage? (8 - 15) [8]: 8
Would you like to generate a new private key? (Y/n) [Y]: Y

Error starting self signed cert generation!

I was able to eventually get it working with Slot 2, Slot 8 but the "generate new private key" option never worked for me. I also found that some slot combinations outputs the SHA but not the public cert.

It's been a tough one to troubleshoot because I can only seem to get a working cert about one out of every ten tries.

Here's an example where it sort of works but never outputs the cert

Would you like to generate a new private key? (Y/n) [Y]: n

Self-signed certificate is below:

@scarolan it looks like you are not using this example to generate the CSR.

Can you share your sketch and your ATECC608 configuration?

Sorry, I've long since abandoned this project. I think we can close this issue if nobody else cares or is affected.
