Trezor One Bootloader and Firmware
Building with Docker
Ensure that you have Docker installed. You can follow Docker's installation instructions.
Clone this repository, then use build-docker.sh
to build all images:
git clone https://github.com/trezor/trezor-firmware.git
cd trezor-firmware
./build-docker.sh
When the build is done, you will find the current firmware in build/legacy/firmware/firmware.bin
.
Running with sudo
It is possible to run build-docker.sh
if either your Docker is configured in rootless mode,
or if your user is a member of the docker
group; see Docker documentation
for details.
If you don't satisfy the above conditions, and run sudo ./build-docker.sh
, you might receive a Permission denied
error. To work around it, make sure that the directory hierarchy in build/
directory
is world-writable - e.g., by running chmod -R a+w build/
.
Building older versions
For firmware versions 1.8.1 and newer, you can checkout the respective tag locally.
To build firmware 1.8.2, for example, run git checkout legacy/v1.8.2
and then use
the instructions below.
Note that the unified Docker build was added after version 1.8.3, so it is not available for older versions.
For firmwares older than 1.8.1, please clone the archived trezor-mcu repository and follow the instructions in its README.
Local development build
Make sure you have Python 3.6 or later and Poetry installed.
If you want to build device firmware, also make sure that you have the GNU ARM Embedded toolchain installed. See Dockerfile for up-to-date version of the toolchain.
The build process is configured via environment variables:
EMULATOR=1
specifies that an emulator should be built, instead of the device firmware.DEBUG_LINK=1
specifies that DebugLink should be available in the built image.MEMORY_PROTECT=0
disables memory protection. This is necessary for installing unofficial firmware.DEBUG_LOG=1
enables debug messages to be printed on device screen.BITCOIN_ONLY=1
specifies Bitcoin-only version of the firmware.
To run the build process, execute the following commands:
# enter the legacy subdirectory
cd legacy
# set up poetry
poetry install
# set up environment variables. For example, to build emulator with debuglink:
export EMULATOR=1 DEBUG_LINK=1
# clear build artifacts
poetry run ./script/setup
# run build process
poetry run ./script/cibuild
A built device firmware will be located in legacy/firmware/trezor.bin
. A built emulator will be
located in legacy/firmware/trezor.elf
.
Common errors
-
"Exception: bootloader has to be smaller than 32736 bytes": if you didn't modify the bootloader source code, simply make sure you always run
./script/setup
before runnning./script/cibuild
-
"error adding symbols: File in wrong format": This happens when building emulator after building the firmware, or vice-versa. Execute the following command to fix the problem:
find -L vendor -name "*.o" -delete
You can launch the emulator using ./firmware/trezor.elf
. To use trezorctl
with the emulator, use
trezorctl -p udp
(for example, trezorctl -p udp get_features
).
You can use TREZOR_OLED_SCALE
environment variable to make emulator screen bigger.
How to get fingerprint of firmware signed and distributed by SatoshiLabs?
- Pick version of firmware binary listed on https://data.trezor.io/firmware/1/releases.json
- Download it:
wget -O trezor.signed.bin https://data.trezor.io/firmware/1/trezor-1.9.4.bin
- Use
trezorctl
dry-run mode to get the firmware fingerprint:trezorctl firmware-update -n -f trezor.signed.bin
Step 3 should produce the same fingerprint like your local build (for the same version tag).
How to install custom built firmware?
WARNING: This will erase the recovery seed stored on the device! You should never do this on Trezor that contains coins!
Build with MEMORY_PROTECT=0
or you will get a hard fault on your device.
Switch your device to bootloader mode, then execute:
trezorctl firmware-update -f build/legacy/firmware/firmware.bin
Combining bootloader and firmware with various MEMORY_PROTECT
settings, signed/unsigned
Not all combinations of bootloader and firmware will work. This depends on 3 variables: MEMORY_PROTECT of bootloader, MEMORY_PROTECT of firmware, whether firmware is signed
This table shows the result for bootloader 1.8.0+ and 1.9.1+:
Bootloader MEMORY_PROTECT | Firmware MEMORY_PROTECT | Is firmware officially signed? | Result |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | yes | works, official configuration |
1 | 1 | no | hardfault in header.S when setting VTOR and stack |
0 | 1 | no | works, but don't forget to comment out check_bootloader , otherwise it'll get overwritten |
0 | 0 | no | hard fault because header.S doesn't set VTOR and stack right |
1 | 0 | no | works |
The other three possibilities with signed firmware and MEMORY_PROTECT!=0
for bootloader/firmware don't exist.
