## Firmware behaviour
The purpose of the firmware is to load, measure, and start an
application received from the client over the USB/UART.
The purpose of the firmware is to:
1. Load, measure, and start an application received from the client
over the USB/UART or from one of two flash app slots.
2. Provide functionality to run only app's with specific BLAKE2s
digests.
3. Provide system calls to access the filesystem and get other data.
The firmware binary is part of the FPGA bitstream as the initial
values of the Block RAMs used to construct the `FW_ROM`. The `FW_ROM`
start address is located at `0x0000_0000` in the CPU memory map, which
is also the CPU reset vector.
values of the Block RAMs used to construct the ROM. The ROM is located
at `0x0000_0000`. This is also the CPU reset vector.
### Reset type
When the TKey is started or resetted it can load an app from different
sources. We call this the reset type. Reset type is located in the
resetinfo part of FW\_RAM. The different reset types loads and start
an app from:
1. Flash slot 0 (default): `FLASH0` with a specific app hash defined
in a constant in firmware.
2. Flash slot 1: `FLASH1`.
3. Flash slot 0 with a specific app hash left from previous app:
`FLASH0_VER`
4. Flash slot 1 with a specific app hash left from previous app:
`FLASH1_VER`.
5. Client: `CLIENT`.
6. Client with a specific app hash left from previous app:
`CLIENT_VER`.
### Firmware state machine
This is the state diagram of the firmware. There are only four states.

occurs.

State changes from "initial" to "loading" when receiving `LOAD_APP`,
which also sets the size of the number of data blocks to expect. After
that we expect several `LOAD_APP_DATA` commands until the last block
is received, when state is changed to "running".
Plain text explanation of the states:
In "running", the loaded device app is measured, the Compound Device
Identifier (CDI) is computed, we do some cleanup of firmware data
structures, enable the system calls, and finally start the app, which
ends the firmware state machine. Hardware guarantees that we leave
firmware mode automatically when the program counter leaves ROM.
- *INITIAL*: Start here. Check the `FW_RAM` for the `resetinfo` type
for what to do next.
The device app is now running in application mode. We can, however,
return to firmware mode (excepting access to the UDS) by doing system
calls. Note that ROM is still readable, but is now hardware protected
from execution, except through the system call mechanism.
For all types which begins with `FLASH_*`, set next state to
*LOAD_FLASH*, otherwise set next state to *WAITCOMMAND*.
### Golden path
- *LOAD_FLASH*: Load device app from flash into RAM, app slot taken
from context. Compute a BLAKE2s digest over the entire app.
Transition to *START*.
Firmware loads the application at the start of RAM (`0x4000_0000`). It
use a part of the special FW\_RAM for its own stack.
- *LOAD_FLASH_MGMT*: Load device app from flash into RAM, app slot
alway 0. Compute a BLAKE2s digest over the entire app. Register the
app as a prospective management app if it later goes through
verification. Transition to *START*.
- *WAITCOMMAND*: Wait for commands from the client. Transition to
*LOADING* on `LOAD_APP` command, which also sets the size of the
number of data blocks to expect.
- *LOADING*: Wait for several `LOAD_APP_DATA` commands until the last
block is received, then transition to *START*.
- *START*: Compute the Compound Device Identifier (CDI). If we have a
registered verification digest, verify that the app we are about to
start is indeed the correct app.
Clean up firmware data structures, enable the system calls, and
start the app, which ends the firmware state machine. Hardware
guarantees that we leave firmware mode automatically when the
program counter leaves ROM.
- *FAIL*: Execute an illegal instruction which traps the CPU. Hardware
detects a trapped CPU and blinks the status LED in red until power
loss. No further instructions are executed.
After leaving *START* the device app is now running in application
mode. We can, however, return to firmware mode (excepting access to
the UDS) by doing system calls. Note that ROM is still readable, but
is now hardware protected from execution, except through the system
call mechanism.
If during this whole time any commands are received which are not
allowed in the current state, or any errors occur, we enter the *FAIL*
state.
### Golden path from start to default app
Firmware loads the device application at the start of RAM
(`0x4000_0000`) from either flash or from the client through the UART.
Firmware uses a part of the FW\_RAM for its own stack.

values from the True Random Number Generator (TRNG).
Typical expected use scenario:
1. Check the special resetinfo area in FW\_RAM for reset type. Type
zero means default behaviour, load from flash app slot 0, expecting
the app there to have a specific hardcoded BLAKE2s digest.
1. The client sends the `FW_CMD_LOAD_APP` command with the size of
the device app and the optional 32 byte hash of the user-supplied
secret as arguments and gets a `FW_RSP_LOAD_APP` back. After
using this it's not possible to restart the loading of an
application.
2. Load app data from flash slot 0 into RAM.
2. If the the client receive a sucessful response, it will send
multiple `FW_CMD_LOAD_APP_DATA` commands, together containing the
full application.
3. Compute a BLAKE2s digest of the loaded app.
3. On receiving`FW_CMD_LOAD_APP_DATA` commands the firmware places
the data into `0x4000_0000` and upwards. The firmware replies
with a `FW_RSP_LOAD_APP_DATA` response to the client for each
received block except the last data block.
4. Compare the computed digest against the allowed app digest
hardcoded in the firmware. If it's not equal, halt CPU.
4. When the final block of the application image is received with a
`FW_CMD_LOAD_APP_DATA`, the firmware measure the application by
computing a BLAKE2s digest over the entire application. Then
firmware send back the `FW_RSP_LOAD_APP_DATA_READY` response
containing the digest.
7. [Start the device app](#start-the-device-app).
5. The Compound Device Identifier
([CDI]((#compound-device-identifier-computation))) is then
computed by doing a new BLAKE2s using the Unique Device Secret
(UDS), the application digest, and any User Supplied Secret
(USS) digest already received.
### Start the device app
6. The start address of the device app, currently `0x4000_0000`, is
written to `APP_ADDR` and the size of the binary to `APP_SIZE` to
let the device application know where it is loaded and how large
it is, if it wants to relocate in RAM.
1. Check if there is a verification digest left from the previous app
in the resetinfo. If it is, compare with the loaded app's already
computed digest. Halt CPU if different.
7. The firmware now clears the part of the special `FW_RAM` where it
keeps it stack.
2. Compute the Compound Device Identifier
([CDI]((#compound-device-identifier-computation))) by doing a
BLAKE2s using the Unique Device Secret (UDS), the application
digest, and any User Supplied Secret (USS) digest already received.
8. The interrupt handler for system calls is enabled.
3. Write the start address of the device app, currently `0x4000_0000`,
to `APP_ADDR` and the size of the loaded binary to `APP_SIZE` to
let the device application know where it is loaded and how large it
is, if it wants to relocate in RAM.
9. Firmware starts the application by jumping to the contents of
`APP_ADDR`. Hardware automatically switches from firmware mode to
application mode. In this mode some memory access is restricted,
e.g. some addresses are inaccessible (`UDS`), and some are
switched from read/write to read-only (see [the memory
map](https://dev.tillitis.se/memory/)).
4. Clear the stack part of `FW_RAM`.
If during this whole time any commands are received which are not
allowed in the current state, or any errors occur, we enter the
"failed" state and execute an illegal instruction. An illegal
instruction traps the CPU and hardware blinks the status LED red until
a power cycle. No further instructions are executed.
5. Enable system call interrupt handler.
6. Start the application by jumping to the contents of `APP_ADDR`.
Hardware automatically switch from firmware mode to application
mode. In this mode some memory access is restricted, e.g. some
addresses are inaccessible (`UDS`), and some are switched from
read/write to read-only (see [the memory
map](https://dev.tillitis.se/memory/)).
### Management app, chaining apps and verified boot
Normally, the TKey measures a device app and mixes it together with
the Unique Device Secret in hardware to produce the [Compound Device
Identifier]((#compound-device-identifier-computation)). The CDI can
then be used for creating key material. However, since any key
material created like this will change if the app is changed even the
slightest, this make it hard to upgrade apps and keep the key
material.
This is where a combination of measured boot and verified boot comes
in!
To support verified boot the firmware supports reset types with
verification. This means that the firmware will load an app as usual
either from flash or from the client, but before starting the app it
will verify the new app's computed digest with a verification digest.
The verification digest can either be stored in the firmware itself or
left to it from a previous app, a verified boot loader app.
Such a verified boot loader app:
- Might be loaded from either flash or client.
- Typically includes a security policy, for instance a public key and
code to check a crytographic signature.
- Can be specifically trusted by firmware to be able to do filesystem
management to be able to update an app slot on flash. Add the app's
digest to `allowed_app_digest` in `mgmt_app.c` to allow it to allow
it to use `PRELOAD_DELETE`, `PRELOAD_STORE`, and
`PRELOAD_STORE_FIN`.
It works like this:
- The app reads a digest of the next app in the chain and the
signature over the digest from either the filesystem (syscall
`PRELOAD_GET_DIGSIG`) or sent from the client.
- If the signature provided over the digest is verified against the
public key the app use the system call `RESET` with the reset type
set to `START_FLASH0_VER`, `START_FLASH1_VER`, or `START_CLIENT_VER`
depending on where it wants the next app to start from. It also
sends the now verified app digest to the firmware in the same system
call.
- The key is reset and firmware starts again. It checks:
1. The reset type. Start from client or a slot in the filesystem?
2. The expected digest of the next app.
- Firmware loads the app from the expected source.
- Firmware refuses to start if the loaded app has a different digest.
- If the app was allowed to start it can now use something
deterministic left for it in resetinfo by the verified boot loader
app as a seed for it's key material and no longer use CDI for the
purpose.
We propose that a loader app can derive the seed for the next app by
creating a shared secret, perhaps something as easy as:
```
secret = blake2s(cdi, "name-of-next-app")
```
The loader shares the secret with the next app by putting it in the
part of `resetinfo` that is reserved for inter-app communication.
The next app can now use the secret as a seed for it's own key
material. Depending on the app's behaviour and the numer of keys it
needs it can derive more keys, for instance by having nonces stored on
its flash area and doing:
```
secret1 = blake2s(secret, nonce1)
secret2 = blake2s(secret, nonce2)
...
```
Now it can create many secrets deterministically, as long as there is
some space left on flash for the nonces and all of them can be traced
to the measured identity of the loader app, giving all the features of
the measured boot system.
### App loaded from client
The default is always to start from a verified app in flash slot
0. To be able to load an app from the client you have to send
something to the app to reset the TKey with a reset type of
`START_CLIENT` or `START_CLIENT_VER`.
After reset, firmware will:
1. Wait for data coming in through the UART.
2. The client sends the `FW_CMD_LOAD_APP` command with the size of
the device app and the optional 32 byte hash of the user-supplied
secret as arguments and gets a `FW_RSP_LOAD_APP` back. After
using this it's not possible to restart the loading of an
application.
3. On a sucessful response, the client will send multiple
`FW_CMD_LOAD_APP_DATA` commands, together containing the full
application.
4. On receiving`FW_CMD_LOAD_APP_DATA` commands the firmware places
the data into `0x4000_0000` and upwards. The firmware replies
with a `FW_RSP_LOAD_APP_DATA` response to the client for each
received block except the last data block.
5. When the final block of the application image is received with a
`FW_CMD_LOAD_APP_DATA`, the firmware measure the application by
computing a BLAKE2s digest over the entire application. Then
firmware send back the `FW_RSP_LOAD_APP_DATA_READY` response
containing the digest.

this part.
1. Choose your pre-loaded app. You /must/ have a pre-loaded app, for
example `testloadapp`. Build it with the OCI image we use. The
binary needs to produce the BLAKE2s digest in `allowed_app_digest`
`tk1/mgmt_app.c`.

$ cd ../tools
$ ./load_preloaded_app.sh 0 ../fw/testloadapp/testloadapp.bin

1. Check the BLAKE2s digest of the app. You can use `tools/b2s` to
compute it.
