The `add` function registers what function is invoked when some particular `message_type`
is received. The following example binds the `apps.wallet.get_address` function with
the `GetAddress` message:
```python

### Storage and Profiles
Internal Trezor's storage is emulated and stored in the `/var/tmp/trezor.flash` file by

# Trezor Core
Trezor Core is the second-gen firmware running on Trezor devices. It currently runs on Trezor T only, but it will probably be used on Trezor One in future as well (see issue [#24](https://github.com/trezor/trezor-firmware/issues/24)).
Trezor Core is the second-gen firmware running on Trezor devices. It currently runs on Trezor T and Trezor Safe 3, but it might be used on Trezor One in the future as well (see issue [#24](https://github.com/trezor/trezor-firmware/issues/24)).
Trezor Core is part of the trezor-firmware monorepo to be found on [GitHub](https://github.com/trezor/trezor-firmware), in the `core` subdirectory.
Trezor Core uses [MicroPython](https://github.com/micropython/micropython), it is a Python implementation for embedded systems, which allows us to have an application layer in Python, which makes the code significantly more readable and sustainable. This is what you find in the `src` folder.
Not everything is in Python though, we need to use C occasionally, usually for performance reasons. That is what `embed/extmod` is for. It extends MicroPython's modules with a number of our owns and serves as a bridge between C and Python codebase. Related to that, `mocks` contain Python mocks of those functions to improve readability and IDE functioning.
Where appropriate, we also use Rust. For example, all UI components and animations are implemented in `embed/rust`. Similarly to C bindings, you can find Python mocks for the Rust functions in `mocks` directory. Developing new features in Rust is preferred in the future.
## Boot
Module `src/main.py` is the first one to be invoked in MicroPython. It starts the USB, initializes the wire codec and boots applications (see [Apps](apps.md)).

The folder `src/apps/` is the place where all the user-facing features are implemented.
Each app has a `boot()` function in the module's \_\_init\_\_ file. This functions assigns what function should be called if some specific message was received. In other words, it is a link between the MicroPython functions and the Protobuf messages.
Each app must be registered by the `register` function inside the file `workflow_handlers.py`. This functions assigns what function should be called if some specific message was received. In other words, it is a link between the MicroPython functions and the Protobuf messages.
## Example
This binds the message GetAddress to function `get_address` inside the `apps.bitcoin` module.
For a user facing application you would assign the message to the module in `_find_message_handler_module`. This binds the message `GetAddress` to function `get_address` inside the `apps.bitcoin.get_address` module.
```python
from trezor import wire
from trezor.messages import MessageType
# in core/src/apps/workflow_handlers.py
# ...
def _find_message_handler_module(msg_type: int) -> str:
from trezor.enums import MessageType

if msg_type == MessageType.GetAddress:
return "apps.bitcoin.get_address"

```python

1. Unit tests that are specific to Trezor Core.

As already mentioned, to get something useful from Trezor, writing device logic is not enough. We need to have a specific communication channel between the computer and Trezor, and also the computer needs to know how to speak to the device to trigger wanted action.

Communication between Trezor and the computer is handled by a protocol called `protobuf`. It allows for the creation of specific messages (containing clearly defined data) that will be exchanged. More details about this can be seen in [docs](../common/communication/index.md).
