Production Test Firmware

This document outlines the protocol used during production for testing and the initial provisioning of Trezor devices.

Commands and Responses

In the production environment, the test equipment sends single-line text commands. These commands start with the command name and can optionally be followed by parameters separated by spaces.

Command Format:

COMMAND [INARG1 [INARG2 [INARG3 ...]]]

Example:

CPUID READ

The Trezor device responds with single-line text responses that start with either OK or ERROR, followed by output values separated by spaces. If the device receives an unrecognized command, it responds with the text UNKNOWN.

Device responds with single line text response starting with words OK or ERROR optionally followed by output values delimited by spaces. In case of unrecognized command, device responds with text UNKNOWN.

Response Format:

OK [OUTARG1 [OUTARG2 [OUTARG3 ...]]]

Example:

OK 2F0079001951354861125762

List of commands

PING

The PING command serves as a no-operation request, and the device responds with OK to acknowledge receipt.

Example:

PING
OK

CPUID READ

The CPUID READ command reads a 96-bit long unique ID stored in the device's CPU. The command always returns OK followed by a 24-digit hexadecimal value representing the unique ID.

Example:

CPUID READ
OK 2F0079001951354861125762

BORDER

The BORDER command draws a single white border around the screen on a black background. This command has no input parameters and always returns OK.

Example:

BORDER
OK

DISP

The DISP command draws vertical color bars on the screen based on a list of specified colors provided as a parameter. Each character in the parameter represents one vertical bar and its color (R - red, B - blue, W - white, any other character - black). The number of characters corresponds to the number of bars.

Note: On monochromatic displays R, G, B characters are interpreted as the white color.

Example (to draw 6 vertical bars - red, black, green, black, blue and black):

DISP RxGxB

BUTTON

The BUTTON command tests the functionality of the device's buttons. It waits for the user to press and release a specified button in a designated timeout period.

The command required two input parameters:

• The first parameter specifies the expected button or combination of buttons, with possible values: LEFT, RIGHT, BOTH.
• The seconds parameter specifies the timeout duration in seconds in range 1 to 9

If the specified button or button combination is not detected within the timeout, the command will return and ERROR TIMEOUT.

Example (to wait for 9 seconds for the left button):

BUTTON LEFT 9
OK

TOUCH

The TOUCH command tests the functionality of the display's touch screen. It draws a filled rectangle in one of the four display quadrants and waits for user interaction.

The command requires two input parameters:

• The first parameter, which should be a value between 0 and 3, determines the quadrant where the rectangle will be drawn.
• The second parameter, a value between 1 and 9, represents the timeout in seconds.

If the display is not touched within the specified timeout, the command will return an ERROR TIMEOUT.

The command does not check whether the touch point lies within the quadrant or not. It only returns the x and y coordinate of the touch point.

Example (to draw a rectangle in the top-left quadrant and wait for 9 seconds for touch input):

TOUCH 09
OK 50 90

TOUCH_CUSTOM

The TOUCH_CUSTOM command tests the functionality of the display's touch screen. It draws a filled rectangle on custom coordinates and waits for user interaction.

The command requires five input parameters:

• X position of the top-left corner of the rectangle
• Y position of the top-left corner of the rectangle
• Width of the rectangle
• Height of the rectangle
• The timeout in seconds

If the display is not touched within the specified timeout, the command will return an ERROR TIMEOUT.

The device report touch events, coordinates and timestamps (in ms), correctness of the touch point is not checked and is left to the test equipment.

The test ends with first lift-up event.

Example (to draw a 100x100 rectangle in the top-left (10,10) position and wait for 15 seconds for touch input):

TOUCH_CUSTOM 10 10 100 100 15
TOUCH D 69 35 357300
TOUCH U 69 35 357328
OK

TOUCH_IDLE

The TOUCH_IDLE command tests the functionality of the display's touch screen. It waits for a specific time period without any touch input.

The command requires one input parameter:

• The timeout in seconds

If a touch activity is detected within the specified timeout, the command will return an ERROR TOUCH DETECTED.

Example - wait ten seconds for no touch input:

TOUCH_IDLE 10
OK

TOUCH_POWER

The TOUCH_POWER command tests the functionality of touch layer power supply

The command requires one input parameter:

• The timeout in seconds

The powers up the touch layer and waits for a specific time period so that measurement can be done by test equipment.

Example - wait ten seconds for touch power measurement:

TOUCH_POWER 10
OK

SENS

The SENS command is used to evaluating the touch screen sensitivity. It draws a filled box around the touch coordinates. It takes one input parameter, a sensitivity, a decimal value representing sensitivity. Please note that the sensitivity value is model-dependent.

It's important to mention that this command does not return any output. A device restart is required to stop this operation.

Example:

SENS 12

TOUCH VERSION

Allows you to read the version of the touch screen controller, if its supported by the device. The command returns OK followed by the version number.

Example:

TOUCH VERSION
OK 167

PWM

The PWM command sets the display backlight using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). This command takes one input parameter, a decimal value between 0 to 255, and adjusts the PWM output to control the display LED backlight.

Example::

DISP 128
OK

SD

The SD command initiates a simple test of the SD card. The test includes writing and reading back a few blocks of data and comparing them for equality.

Possible error return codes are:

• ERROR NOCARD - Indicates that no SD card is present
• ERROR sdcard_write_blocks (n) - Indicates a write failure to the N-th block
• ERROR sdcard_read_blocks (n) - Indicates a read failure from the N-th block
• ERROR DATA MISMATCH - Indicates a mismatch between the read data and the written data
• OK - Indicates that the test has passed successfully

Note: the command returns UNKNOWN for models without the SD card support

Example:

SD
OK

SBU

The SBU command allows you to set the states of SBU1 and SBU2 pins. It takes one input parameter, representing the state of both pins (00, 01, 10 or 11), and sets the corresponding output pins accordingly.

Example:

// sets SBU1 <- 1, SBU2 <- 0

SBU 10
OK

HAPTIC

The HAPTIC command allows you to test the functionality of the device's haptic driver. It takes one input parameter, representing the duration of the vibration in milliseconds. The device only vibrates if there is motor connected to the haptic driver, otherwise the effect needs to be measured by an oscilloscope.

Example:

// runs the driver for 3000 ms

HAPTIC 3000
OK

OTP READ

The OTP READ command is utilized to retrieve a string parameter from the device's OTP memory. This string typically contains information identifying the model and production batch of the device. The command always returns OK followed by the read value. If the OTP memory has not been written yet, it returns a special response: OK (null).

Example:

OTP READ
OK (null)

OTP WRITE

The OTP WRITE command enables you to store a string parameter (which can be used to identify the model and production batch, for instance) into the device's OTP memory. The parameter can be up to 31 characters in length.

The standard format is <internal_model>-<YYMMDD>, where YYMMDD represents the provisioning date. In case of Model T the internal_model is TREZOR2.

Example:

OTP WRITE T2B1-231231
OK

VARIANT

The VARIANT command writes up to 31 decimal values (representing device variant options), each ranging from 0 to 255, and delimited by spaces, into the OTP memory. This command should be called after the LOCK command was successfully executed.

The standard format is VARIANT <unit_color> <unit_btconly> <unit_packaging>.

Example (to write 3 bytes into OTP memory):

VARIANT 3 0 2

VARIANT READ

The VARIANT READ command allows you to read 32 bytes of stored variant data (representing device variant options), each ranging from 0 to 255, and delimited by spaces. The first byte is the format version, followed by the bytes written using the VARIANT command and padded with null bytes.

Example:

VARIANT READ
OK 1 3 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
