# OpenSK logo ## Installation guide This document lists required steps to start build your own OpenSK. ### Programmers OpenSK supports different ways to flash your board: * [Segger J-Link](https://www.segger.com/products/debug-probes/j-link/) (default method). * [OpenOCD](http://openocd.org/). * [pyOCD](https://pypi.org/project/pyocd/). * [nrfutil](https://pypi.org/project/nrfutil/) for the USB dongle boards that support it, which allows you to directly flash a working board over USB without additional hardware. ### Software requirements In order to compile and flash a working OpenSK firmware, you will need the following: * rustup (can be installed with [Rustup](https://rustup.rs/)) * python3 and pip (can be installed with the `python3-pip` package on Debian) * the OpenSSL command line tool (can be installed and configured with the `libssl-dev` and `pkg-config` packages on Debian) * `nrfutil` (can be installed using `pip3 install nrfutil`) if you want to flash a device with DFU * `uuid-runtime` if you are missing the `uuidgen` command. * `llvm` and `gcc-arm-none-eabi` if you want to use the upgradability feature. The proprietary software to use the default programmer can be found on the [Segger website](https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink). Please follow their instructions to appropriate binaries for your system. The scripts provided in this project have been tested under Linux and OS X. We haven't tested them on Windows and other platforms. If you use Python newer than 3.10, then nrfutil for flashing over DFU is currently not supported. Please use Python 3.10, or play around with [Nordic's new tool](https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nrf-util) instead. ### Compiling the firmware If this is your first time installing OpenSK, please skip directly to [Initial setup](#Initial-setup). Else, see [Updating your setup](#Updating-your-setup) below. #### Updating your setup Depending on the difference to your last state, you may need some of the following steps: * If you are not just testing minor changes, reset and redo the setup. This will delete all uncommited changes. ```shell ./reset.sh ./setup.sh ``` * Flash your board according to the [flashing instructions below](#Flashing-a-firmware]. If you come from an OpenSK version before the 2.0 certified one, your credential storage is not backwards compatible and you have to reset it. :warning: You will lose logins to all websites that you registered with OpenSK. To erase your persistent storage, run the deploy script twice: Once with the application parameter `--erase_storage`, and once with `--opensk` as usual. This reset also clears the certificate. For a privacy discussion, see the [certificate section in Customization](customization.md#Certificate-considerations). If you want to reinstall it, you also need to rerun: ```shell ./tools/configure.py \ --certificate=crypto_data/opensk_cert.pem \ --private-key=crypto_data/opensk.key ``` #### Initial setup To clone and setup the repository for the develop branch, run the following commands: ```shell git clone -b develop https://github.com/google/OpenSK.git cd OpenSK ./setup.sh ``` The setup script performs the following steps: 1. Make sure that the git submodules are checked out. 1. Apply our patches that haven't yet been merged upstream to both [Tock](https://github.com/tock/tock) and [libtock-rs](https://github.com/tock/libtock-rs). 1. Generate crypto material, see [Customization](customization.md) for details. 1. Install the correct Rust toolchain for ARM devices. 1. Install [tockloader](https://github.com/tock/tockloader). Additionally on Linux, you need to install a `udev` rule file to allow non-root users to interact with OpenSK devices. To install it, execute: ```shell sudo cp rules.d/55-opensk.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/ sudo udevadm control --reload ``` Then, you need and replug the device for the rule to trigger. Last, if you want to use U2F or attestation, configure the certificate. If your client does not support FIDO2 yet, this step is mandatory for your OpenSK to work. OpenSK is incompatible with some browsers without a certificate. Please read the [certificate section in Customization](customization.md#Certificate-considerations) for understand privacy tradeoffs. ```shell ./tools/configure.py \ --certificate=crypto_data/opensk_cert.pem \ --private-key=crypto_data/opensk.key ``` ### Flashing a firmware From here on, please follow the instructions for your hardware: * [Nordic nRF52840-DK](boards/nrf52840dk.md) * [Nordic nRF52840 Dongle](boards/nrf52840_dongle.md) * [Makerdiary nRF52840-MDK USB dongle](boards/nrf52840_mdk.md) * [Feitian OpenSK dongle](boards/nrf52840_feitian.md) ### Advanced installation We recommend that you flash your development board with JTAG and dongles with DFU, as described in the [board documentation](#Flashing-a-firmware) linked above. However, we support other programmers: * OpenOCD: `./deploy.py --board=nrf52840_dongle_opensk --opensk --programmer=openocd` * pyOCD: `./deploy.py --board=nrf52840_dongle_opensk --opensk --programmer=pyocd` * Custom: `./deploy.py --board=nrf52840_dongle_opensk --opensk --programmer=none`. In this case, an IntelHex file will be created and how to program a board is left to the user. If your board is already flashed with Tock OS, you may skip installing it: `./deploy.py --board=nrf52840dk_opensk --opensk --no-tockos` For more options, we invite you to read the help of our `deploy.py` script by running `./deploy.py --help`. ### Upgradability We experiment with a new CTAP command to allow upgrading your device without access to its debugging port. For that purpose, the flash storage is split into 4 parts: * the bootloader to decide with partition to boot * firmware partition A * firmware partition B * the persistent storage for credentials The storage is backward compatible to non-upgradable boards. Deploying an upgradable board automatically installs the bootloader. Please keep in mind that you have to safely store your private signing key for upgrades if you want to use this feature. For more information on the cryptographic material, see [Customization](customization.md). So far, upgradability is only supported for the development board. See the instructions on the [board specific page](boards/nrf52840dk.md).
