#TREZOR Core Bootloader

All multibyte integer values are little endian!

##Firmware File Format

TREZOR Core firmware file consists of 3 parts:

  1. vendor header
  2. firmware header
  3. firmware code

Hash function used is SHA-256 and signature system is Ed25519 (allows combining signatures by multiple keys into one).

###Vendor Header

Total length of vendor header is 82 + 32 * (number of pubkeys) + (length of vendor string) + (length of vendor image) bytes rounded up to the closest multiply of 256 bytes.

0x0004 4 hlen length of the vendor header
0x0008 4 expiry valid until timestamp
0x000C 1 vsig_m number of signatures needed to run the firmware from this vendor

###Firmware Header

Total length of firmware header is 256 bytes.

##Various ideas

  • Bootloader should be able to read vendor+firmware header and send info about FW to client in features message.
  • Bootloader should not try to run firmware if there is not any.
  • Storage wiping rule: Don't erase storage when old FW and new FW are signed using the same key set. Otherwise erase.
  • Bootloader should send error to client when firmware update fails and allow client to try one more time. This prevents storage area erasure by accident.
