This repo contains the firmware and bootloader for the Skywallet as well as tools to test and develop for the Skywallet. The firmware can be found in /tiny-firmware. The firmware has been modified from Trezor.
The skycoin-api folder contains the definition of the functions implementing the Skycoin features. The Skywallet Go CLI defines Golang functions that communicate with the firmware/bootloader.
Get the development dependencies and tools from the tiny-firware/README.md first, before continuing with the build instructions.
After cloning this repository, make sure the submodules are up-to-date by executing the following command:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Should you find any issues while running any of the commands that follow please consult FAQ before reporting a bug.
make bootloader # Your firmware is skybootloader-no-memory-protect.bin
Careful if you flash and run that bootloader on the device it will activate a memory protection that will close access to flash memory.
You won't be able to flash your device with an st-link again.
make bootloader-mem-protect # Your firmware is bootloader-memory-protected.bin
make firmware # Your firmware is tiny-firmware/skyfirmware.bin
Signs the firmware with the private key corresponding to the PubKeys that were registered in the bootlaoder during building. The PubKeys can be found in the project Makefile
make sign # Your firmware is tiny-firmware/skyfirmware.bin
This creates a combined firmware without memory protection.
make full-firmware # this will create a full-firmware-no-mem-protect.bin file
Caution: This combined firmware has memory protection enabled and therefore cannot be re-flashed.
make full-firmware-mem-protect # this will create a full-firmware-memory-protected.bin file
make clean && make run-emulator
In case of needing special compiler flags for the SDL library it is possible to provide them in SDL_CFLAGS
variable. For instance , if SDL was installed with brew on Mac OS X then the following command execution would force searching for header files at the right location.
make clean && make run-emulator SDL_CFLAGS=-I$(brew --prefix sdl2)/include/SDL2
However for the default brew
installation in practice this should not be needed since the value of SDL_CFLAGS
defaults to $(shell sdl2-config --cflags | sed 's/-D_THREAD_SAFE//g')
.
Code added in this repository should comply with the development guidelines documented in the Skycoin wiki.
This project has two branches: master
and develop
.
develop
is the default branch and will always have the latest code.master
will always be equal to the current stable release on the website, and should correspond with the latest release tag.
The firmware follows Semver.
The firmware binary filename is skywallet-firmware-v$(VERSION_FIRMWARE).bin
e.g. skywallet-firmware-v1.0.0.bin
.
The bootloder versioning is independent of the firmware versioning, but follows Semver as well.
The bootloader binary filename is skywallet-bootloader-mem-protect-v$(VERSION_BOOTLOADER).bin
if compiled with memory protection enabled it is skywallet-bootloader-no-memory-protect-v$(VERSION_BOOTLOADER).bin
. For instance, skywallet-bootloader-mem-protect-v1.0.2.bin
or skywallet-bootloader-no-memory-protect-v1.0.2.bin
could be bootloader file names.
In order to identify at first sight the features supported by a particular release of a client library, its major and minor version numbers should match the corresponding values of the version of the firmware they were built (tested) for. It is expected that the aforementioned library will be able to communicate to any firmware, as long as both versions (client and firmware) have the same major version number and firmware minor number is greater than the one of the library.
The project includes a test suite. In order to run it just execute the following command
make clean && make test
To generate code coverage html report you need to have lcov
available in your PATH
, in a debian based system you can run apt install lcov
, lcov can be available using brew
on osx too, but in the most general case you can follow the the official install instructions.
After having this tool you can run make check-coverage
, if not errors found you can find the result in coverage/index.html
.
The Skywallet firmware is composed of two parts: the bootloader and the firmware.
Upon startup, the bootloader checks the validity of the firmware installed on the device. It checks whether the signatures of the firmware correspon to the PubKeys registered in the bootlaoder. The firmware is expected to have a header with proper MAGIC number and three signature slots.
If the firmware does not have a valid signature in its header it is considered "not official". A warning will be displayed but the user can still skip it and use it anyway.
- If the
master
branch has commits that are not indevelop
(e.g. due to a hotfix applied tomaster
), mergemaster
intodevelop
(and fix any build or test failures) - Switch to a new release branch named
release-X.Y.Z
for preparing the release. - Update
tiny-firmware/VERSION
andtiny-firmware/bootloader/VERSION
with corresponding version numbers - Run
make build
to make sure that the code base is up to date - Update
CHANGELOG.md
: move the "unreleased" changes to the version and add the date. - Follow the steps in pre-release testing
- Make a PR merging the release branch into
master
- Ensure changes needed in protobuffer specs are merged into its
master
branch - Ensure protobuf specs sub-module will track changes from its
master
branch after merge - Review the PR and merge it
- Tag the
master
branch with the version number. Version tags start withv
, e.g.v0.20.0
. Sign the tag. If you have your GPG key in github, creating a release on the Github website will automatically tag the release. It can be tagged from the command line withgit tag -as v0.20.0 $COMMIT_ID
, but Github will not recognize it as a "release". - Tag the changeset of the
protob
submodule checkout with the same version number as above. - Release builds are created and uploaded by travis. To do it manually, checkout the master branch and follow the create release builds instructions.
- Checkout
develop
branch and bumptiny-firmware/VERSION
andtiny-firmware/bootloader/VERSION
to nextdev
version number.
Once the candidate release build artifacts have been downloaded it is necessary to check once again that they behave according to specifications. The followinfg steps are aimed at ensuring this is the case. Execute
- Flash the device with latest versions of bootloader and firmware
- Ensure you have a recent version of Skycoin desktop software in one of the following ways
- build desktop wallet from source either following instructions from master branch or from develop branch
- download Skycoin wallet from official downloads page
- Open desktop wallet
- Recover a test wallet with nonzero balance from seed to confirm wallet loading works
- Send coins to another wallet to confirm spending works
- Check that transferred amounts reported in transaction history are correct
- Add a PIN to the hardware wallet
- Use the same recovery seed of the wallet configured in the Skywallet device and to load a wallet directly in desktop wallet
- Send coins to another wallet again
- Check transaction history once again
- Wipe the wallet
- Set up the hardware wallet with a random seed and write down the first address
- Create a seed backup
- Wipe the wallet and restore the seed. Check if the first address is equal to the one previously written
- Repeat steps from the top but using combined bootloader + firmware image to flash the hardware wallet device.
The following instruction creates a full release:
make release
Firmware version will be retrieved automatically from git
, and bootloader version will be take from tiny-firmware/VERSION
.
Security flaws in Skywallet source or infrastructure can be sent to [email protected]. Bounties are available for accepted critical bug reports.
