Tip:
- In releases, you will find a precompiled test app. If you are just curious, you can run
install_app.sh
and avoid building.
Once the app is approved by Ledger, it will be available in their app store (Ledger Live). You can get builds generated by CircleCI from the release tab. THESE ARE UNVETTED DEVELOPMENT RELEASES
Download a release from Releases. You only need installer_s.sh
If the file is not executable, run
chmod +x ./installer_s.sh
then run:
./installer_s.sh load
-
Be sure you checkout submodules too:
git submodule update --init --recursive
-
Install Docker CE
- Instructions can be found here: https://docs.docker.com/install/
-
We only officially support Ubuntu. Install the following packages:
sudo apt update && apt-get -y install build-essential git wget cmake \ libssl-dev libgmp-dev autoconf libtool
-
Install
node > v14.0
. We typically recommend usingn
-
You will need python 3 and then run
-
make deps
-
The current repository keeps track of Ledger's SDK but it is possible to override it by changing the git submodule.
-
Warning: Some IDEs may not use the same python interpreter or virtual enviroment as the one you used when running pip
.
If you see conan is not found, check that you installed the package in the same interpreter as the one that launches cmake
.
We like clion or vscode but let's have some reproducible command line steps
-
Building the app itself
If you installed the what is described above, just run:
make
-
Running rust tests (x64)
If you installed the what is described above, just run:
make rust_test
-
Running C/C++ tests (x64)
If you installed the what is described above, just run:
make cpp_test
-
Running device emulation+integration tests!!
Use Zemu! Explained below!
What is Zemu?? Great you asked!! As part of this project, we are making public a beta version of our internal testing+emulation framework for Ledger apps.
Npm Package here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@zondax/zemu
Repo here: https://github.com/Zondax/zemu
Let's go! First install everything:
At this moment, if you change the app you will need to run
make
before running the test again.
make zemu_install
Then you can run JS tests:
make zemu_test
To run a single specific test:
At the moment, the recommendation is to run from the IDE. Remember to run
make
if you change the app.
You can use an emulated device for development. This is only required if you are using a physical device
Please do not use a Ledger device with funds for development purposes.
Have a separate and marked device that is used ONLY for development and testing
There are a few additional steps that increase reproducibility and simplify development:
1 - Ensure your device works in your OS
-
In Linux hosts it might be necessary to adjust udev rules, etc.
Refer to Ledger documentation: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005165269-Fix-connection-issues
2 - Set a test mnemonic
Many of our integration tests expect the device to be configured with a known test mnemonic.
-
Plug your device while pressing the right button
-
Your device will show "Recovery" in the screen
-
Double click
-
Run
make dev_init
. This will take about 2 minutes. The device will be initialized to:PIN: 5555 Mnemonic: equip will roof matter pink blind book anxiety banner elbow sun young
3 - Add a development certificate
-
Plug your device while pressing the right button
-
Your device will show "Recovery" in the screen
-
Click both buttons at the same time
-
Enter your pin if necessary
-
Run
make dev_ca
. The device will receive a development certificate to avoid constant manual confirmations.
The Makefile will build the firmware in a docker container and leave the binary in the correct directory.
-
Build
make # Builds the app
-
Upload to a device
The following command will upload the application to the ledger:
Warning: The application will be deleted before uploading.
make load # Builds and loads the app to the device
