Hello,

This week, I'm in Germany to attend OpenPGP.conf.  My talk will
be in this morning.  It is titled "Gnuk 1.2".  Wow. :-)

Thank you very much for your experiments.

Yes, key generation of RSA-4096 is not possible on the device, because
of memory size.  It is explained in README.

What I don't understand is:

    Hardware of Nitrokey Start and
      hardware specific board file in Gnuk for Nitrokey Start

    Nitrokey Start firmware from factory
      source code
      configuration of Gnuk

I don't know how Nitrokey Start is different to FST-01.  When I
received a board file from Nitrokey, it had different USB setting.
So, I lost the reason why your hardware works with the Gnuk binary
for FST-01.

I guess that there are some confusions.  The board file I received
(and now in Gnuk source code) was perhaps only valid for their
experiment and the hardware would be changed then.

I don't know at all.  I think that there are users of Nitrokey Start,
in this opportunity of the conference.  I'll ask them to examine the
hardware.
