Rust support for the card10 CCCamp19 badge

Prepare your card10

Jailbreaking is no longer necessary!

Starting with firmware v1.9, running ELF binaries requires a /card10.cfg with the following content:

execute_elf=true

Prebuilt binaries

By courtesy of this Gitlab's CI system, and NixOS, we build .elf files for you drop into the apps/ directory of your card10 badge.

For each commit in this repository, we also build complete firmware images with the required configuration and our example binaries.

https://git.card10.badge.events.ccc.de/astro/rust-card10/-/jobs

Prerequisites

You need rust nightly and a working setup to compile the card10 firmware including the matching libc.

  1. For instructions how to setup rust please see https://rustup.rs.

    Please ensure that you installed the latest rust nightly toolchain and add the thumbv7em-none-eabi target.

    rustup toolchain install nightly
    rustup update
    rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabi --toolchain nightly
    
  2. For instructions how to setup the card10 firmware check the dependency chapter in https://firmware.card10.badge.events.ccc.de/how-to-build.html.

  3. Additionally you may need the packages for the llvm and libc i386 dev headers.

  4. Clone this repository with --recursive to get the submodules, otherwise update them afterwards:

    git submodule update --init --recursive
    

Build and run Rust loadables

Setup

If you want to come up with your own rust based loadable crate a few preparations are required:

  • Setup the new crate repository.

  • Add card10-l0dable = "^0.1" as a dependency to your new crate.

  • Change the configuration of the default cargo release profile inside your Cargo.toml file:

    [profile.release]
    opt-level = "s"
    panic = "abort"
    
  • Create (or update) the thumbv7em-none-eabi target configuration at $PROJECT/.cargo/config with the following rustflags:

    [target.thumbv7em-none-eabi]
    rustflags = [
      "-C", "linker=arm-none-eabi-gcc",
      "-C", "link-args=-Tl0dable.ld -n -pie -fPIC",
      "-C", "relocation-model=pic",
    ]
    
    [build]
    target = "thumbv7em-none-eabi"
    
  • Ensure that your crate is marked as a non_std project and make card10-l0dable aware of your custom main function. This should require the following update to your main.rs file.

    #![no_std]
    #![no_main]
    
    use card10_l0dable::main;
    
    main!(main);
    fn main() {}
    

Compilation

To compile the project use the nightly toolchain and define the proper target.

cargo +nightly build --release --target thumbv7em-none-eabi

Transfer to card10

Then copy the resulting executable from the target directory target/thumbv7em-none-eabi/release/example into the apps directory of your badge.

Attention: Its necessary to rename the executable to add the elf extension (e.g example must be renamed as example.elf).

Misc

How to update the firmware bindings

  1. Update the card10-sys/firmware submodule to the latest firmware state.

  2. Rebuild the firmware as described above.

  3. Run the following script from the project root directory

    python card10-sys/firmware/epicardium/api/genapi.py -H card10-sys/firmware/epicardium/epicardium.h -c card10-sys/vendor/client.c -s card10-sys/vendor/server.c
    
  4. Rebuild your app :)
