Hi, thanks for the fast answer. The cryptsetup binary itself works on the arm device. I added debug logging to my source. When I perform the crypt_format function I can see the Log "#Crypto backend () initialized". On my developer virtual machine are more information - like "#Crypto backen (Linux 3.7.10-1.32-desktop kernel CryptoAPI) initialized". Is there any missing additional call to initialize any crypto backend? Thanks, Stephan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Milan Broz [mailto:gmazyland@xxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Dienstag, 20.

Do you have any tip to solve the error? Something is probably misconfigured on your system. If cryptsetup binary itself works, try to add debug info to your program: crypt_set_debug_level(CRYPT_DEBUG_ALL); and also try to strace it (do not use valuable password though:) If it there is still not useful explanation in log, please send the output of these logs.
