Please help to resolve this error.

Hi,

I tried to build the mbedtls v3.2.1 with Ubuntu 22.04 and python 3.10.6 and compiled/linked with no error.

You got:

SyntaxError: can use starred expression only as assignment target

The syntax error is caused by the * operator, which is not supported in this form in Python <= 3.4, so you need to update to 3.5 onwards.

README in the Mbed TLS mentioned:

  • Python 3.6 to generate the test code, and to generate sample programs in the development branch.
