Common Tools

This directory contains mostly tools that can manipulate definitions in defs/.

Tools are written with Click, so you always get a help text if you use the --help option.

All tools require Python 3.6 or higher and a bunch of dependencies, listed in requirements.txt. You can install them all with pip3 install -r requirements.txt.

Tools overview

cointool.py

This is a general-purpose tool to examine coin definitions. Currently it implements the following commands:

• render: generate code based on a Mako template. By default, cointool.py render foo.bar.mako will put its result into file foo.bar in the same directory. See usage in trezor-core.
• check: check validity of json definitions and associated data. Used in CI.
• dump: dump coin information, including support status, in JSON format. Various filtering options are available, check help for details.

Use cointool.py command --help to get more information on each command.

support.py

Used to query and manage info in support.json. This mainly supports the release flow.

The following commands are available:

• check: check validity of json data. Used in CI.
• fix: prune keys without associated coins.
• show: keyword-search for a coin and show its support status for each device.
• set: set support data.
• release: perform the release workflow.

Use support.py command --help to get more information on each command.

coin_info.py

In case where code generation with cointool.py render is impractical or not sufficient, you can query the data directly through Python. Short usage example:

import coin_info

defs = coin_info.coin_info()
list_of_all_coins = defs.as_list()
dict_by_coin_key = defs.as_dict()

for token in defs.erc20:
    print(token["key"], token["name"], token["shortcut"])

support_info = coin_info.support_info(defs.misc)
for key, support in support_info.values():
    t2_support = support["trezor2"]
    coin_name = dict_by_coin_key[key]
    if t2_support:
        print(coin_name, "is supported since version", t2_support)
    else:
        print(coin_name, "is not supported")

See docstrings for the most important functions: coin_info() and support_info().

The file coindef.py is a protobuf definition for passing coin data to Trezor from the outside.

marketcap.py

Module for obtaining market cap and price data used by maxfee.py.

maxfee.py

Updates the maxfee_kb coin property based on a specified maximum per-transaction fee. The command fetches current price data from https://coinmarketcap.com/ to convert from fiat-denominated maximum fee.

Release Workflow

This entails collecting information on coins whose support status is unknown and bumping timestamp of external definitions <??? TODO>.

Maintaining Support Status

When a new coin definition is added, its support status is unknown. It is excluded from code generation by default. If you want to include a coin in a firmware build, you need to switch it to supported in a particular version first. You can set multiple support statuses at the same time:

$ ./support.py show Ontology
misc:ONT - Ontology (ONT)
 * connect : NO
 * trezor1 : support info missing
 * trezor2 : support info missing
 * suite : NO

$ ./support.py set misc:ONT trezor1=no -r "not planned on T1" trezor2=2.4.7
misc:ONT - Ontology (ONT)
 * connect : NO
 * trezor1 : NO (reason: not planned on T1)
 * trezor2 : 2.4.7
 * suite : NO

Afterwards, review and commit changes to defs/support.json, and update the trezor-common submodule in your target firmware.

Releasing a new firmware

Step 1: run the release script

./tools/release.sh

Coins in state unknown, i.e., coins that are known in the definitions but not listed in support files, will be interactively added one by one. To avoid that, run support.py release -y separately.

Step 2: review and commit your changes

Use git diff to review changes made, commit and push.
