Temporarily disable use of TinyCrypt with Mbed-OS (e42c6482) · Commits · Wenxi XU / Mcuboot

TinyCrypt uses a modified version of micro-ecc that is also used by the Mbed Cordio BLE stack. When building mcuboot for a target with BLE enabled, this causes multiple-defined symbol errors during linking. Due to the nature of Mbed's current build system, it is difficult to fix this. Mbed will soon release a more flexible cmake-based build system that will make it possible to exclude these TinyCrypt files from an application build that may also link Cordio BLE sources. Until then, this commit temporarily disables the use of TinyCrypt with Mbed-OS and excludes its sources from the build to avoid this build error. Signed-off-by:
