Renesas RA6M3 embed

I am currently following the guide here: https://www.pelion.com/docs/device-management/current/connecting/renesas-sdk.html for connecting my RA6M3 module to the Pelion Device Management.

But on the step for the execution of the imgtool.py,

python ../r01an5347eu0110-ra-arm-secure-boot-solution-ra6m3/SecureBoot_Package/scripts/image_creation/imgtool.py sign --layout ../flash_layout/flash_layout.h --align 8 --header-size 0x400 __Renesas_EK_RA6M3/Release/mbedCloudClientExample.bin mbedCloudClientExample_signed.bin -k ../r01an5347eu0110-ra-arm-secure-boot-solution-ra6m3/SecureBoot_Package/scripts/image_creation/Signing_Key/signingkey.pem

I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I tried to correct it by eliminating the “file=sys.stderr” in the print commands.
But in that case, I get another error:

I have also shared a post in the arm community: https://community.arm.com/developer/f/pelion-iot-platform/47587/renesas-ra6m3-embed

Kindly let me know how to proceed.

Hi @crisdeodates

The issue is caused by python2 . Could you use python3 to run the script instead?

Python2 is at end-of-life.
