This python tool acts as a midleware between a wallet client and a Satochip connected to a card reader. This tool allows to facilitate communication between various wallet by abstracting the protocol layer and communication with a card reader. It also allows a javascript to connect to a Satochip from the browser as in the case of web client.

Python dependencies can be installed with:

$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

$ python3 satochip_bridge/Satochip-bridge.py

This assumes an Ubuntu host, but it should not be too hard to adapt to another similar system. The host architecture should be x86_64 (amd64). The docker commands should be executed in the project's root folder.

The script is based on Electrum building script

1. Install Docker

   $ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
   $ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
   $ sudo apt-get update
   $ sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce
   

2. Build docker image

   $ sudo docker build -t satochip-bridge-appimage-builder-img contrib/build-linux/appimage
   

3. Build AppImage

   $ sudo docker run -it \
   	--name satochip-bridge-appimage-builder-cont \
   	-v $PWD:/opt/satochip_bridge \
   	--rm \
   	--workdir /opt/satochip_bridge/contrib/build-linux/appimage \
   	satochip-bridge-appimage-builder-img \
   	./build.sh
   

4. The generated binary is in ./dist.
