What kind of CPU do you have on the embedded device? Did you modify
anything in the crypto implementation? Are you using the internal crypto
implementation or an external TLS/crypto library?

As far as your test code is concerned, it seems to be defining PMK to be
"password" which is not correct. That would be the passphrase and you
would need to run it through pbkdf2_sha1() to generate the PMK.
