# Build instructions for Embedded (ARM port)

First clone, initialize submodules and install Poetry as defined [here](index.md).
**Do not forget you need to be in a `poetry shell` environment!**

## Requirements

You will need the GCC ARM toolchain for building and OpenOCD for flashing to a device.
You will also need Python dependencies for signing.

### Debian/Ubuntu

```sh
sudo apt-get install scons gcc-arm-none-eabi libnewlib-arm-none-eabi llvm-dev libclang-dev clang
```

### NixOS

There is a `shell.nix` file in the root of the project. Just run the following
**before** entering the `core` directory:

```sh
nix-shell
```

### OS X

_Consider using [Nix](https://nixos.org/download.html). With Nix all you need to do is `nix-shell`._

For other users:

1. Download [gcc-arm-none-eabi](https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads)
2. Follow the [install instructions](https://launchpadlibrarian.net/287100883/readme.txt)
3. To install OpenOCD, run `brew install open-ocd`
4. Run `make vendor build_boardloader build_bootloader build_firmware`

## Protobuf Compiler

The protocol buffer compiler `protoc` is needed to (unsurprisingly) compile protocol buffer files. [Follow the installation instructions for your system](https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation/).

## Rust

Install the appropriate target with [`rustup`](https://rustup.rs/):

```sh
rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf  # for TT
rustup target add thumbv7m-none-eabi     # for T1
```

## Building

```sh
make vendor build_boardloader build_bootloader build_firmware
```

## Uploading

Use `make upload` to upload the firmware to a production device.

* For TT: Do not forget to [enter bootloader](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hes1H4qRbw) on the device beforehand.
* For TS3: You will have to [unlock bootloader](https://trezor.io/learn/a/unlocking-the-bootloader-on-trezor-safe-3) first. Make sure to read the link in completeness for potentially unwanted effects.

## Flashing

For flashing firmware to blank device (without bootloader) use `make flash`.
You need to have OpenOCD installed.

## Building in debug mode

You can also build firmware in debug mode to see log output or run tests.

```sh
PYOPT=0 make build_firmware
```

To get a full debug build, use:

```sh
make build_firmware BITCOIN_ONLY=0 PYOPT=0
```

Use `screen` to enter the device's console. Do not forget to add your user to the `dialout` group or use `sudo`. Note that both the group and the tty name can differ, use `ls -l /dev/tty*` or `ls /dev/tty* | grep usb` to find out proper names on your machine.

```sh
screen /dev/ttyACM0
```
