Ledger Aptos Application

Aptos wallet application for Nano S, Nano S Plus and Nano X.

Prerequisite

Be sure to have your environment correctly set up (see Getting Started) and ledgerblue and installed.

If you want to benefit from vscode integration, it's recommended to move the toolchain in /opt and set BOLOS_ENV environment variable as follows

$ cd <your-preferred-dir>
$ mkdir bolos-devenv
$ cd bolos-devenv
$ wget https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/5.0/5-2016-q1-update/+download/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_3-2016q1-20160330-linux.tar.bz2
$ tar xf gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_3-2016q1-20160330-linux.tar.bz2
$ sudo ln -s <your-preferred-dir>/bolos-devenv /opt/bolos-devenv
$ export BOLOS_ENV=/opt/bolos-devenv

and do the same with BOLOS_SDK environment variable

$ cd <your-preferred-dir>
$ git clone https://github.com/LedgerHQ/nanosplus-secure-sdk.git nanosplus-secure-sdk
$ sudo ln -s <your-preferred-dir>/nanosplus-secure-sdk /opt/nanosplus-secure-sdk
$ export BOLOS_SDK=/opt/nanosplus-secure-sdk

Compilation

Setup

Ledger App Builder is a container image which holds the all dependencies to compile an application for Nano hardware wallets.

You need to clone it with:

$ git clone https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-app-builder

To use the container image, you need to install Docker and do the following steps:

$ sudo docker build -t ledger-app-builder:latest .

Build the Application

For the Nano S

In the source folder of the application (or replace ‘realpath’ with your app’s local path):

$ docker run --rm -ti -v "$(realpath .):/app" ledger-app-builder:latest

root@656be163fe84:/app# make

For the Nano X and Nano S Plus

For Nano X and S Plus, specify the BOLOS_SDK environment variable before building your app, in the source folder of the app.

For Nano S Plus (or replace ‘realpath’ with your app’s local path):

$ sudo docker run --rm -ti -v "$(realpath .):/app" ledger-app-builder:latest

root@656be163fe84:/app# BOLOS_SDK=$NANOSP_SDK make

For Nano X (or replace ‘realpath’ with your app’s local path):

$ sudo docker run --rm -ti -v "$(realpath .):/app" ledger-app-builder:latest

root@656be163fe84:/app# BOLOS_SDK=$NANOX_SDK make

NOTE: If you change the BOLOS_SDK variable between two builds, you can first use make clean to avoid errors.

Exit the image

The build generates several files in your application folder and especially the app.elf that can be loaded to a Nano S or S Plus or into the Nano X or S Emulator (Speculos).

You can exit the image, with the exit command.

NOTE: For more information see the Ledger Dev Docs page: https://developers.ledger.com/docs/nano-app/build/

Load the application (Linux)

WARNING: The Nano X does not support side loading, therefore you must use the device emulator Speculos for loading to work.

Define the udev rules

If you wish to load applications on your device, you will need to add the appropriate udev rules:

$ wget -q -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LedgerHQ/udev-rules/master/add_udev_rules.sh | sudo bash

Load the application from inside the container image

If you want to load and delete the app directly from the container image. You need to compile the application, in the source file of your application, adding the --privileged option:

$ docker run --rm -ti -v "/dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb" -v "$(realpath .):/app" --privileged ledger-app-builder:latest

While the container image is running:

  1. Plug and unlock the Nano S or S Plus.
  2. Use make load (BOLOS_SDK=$NANOSP_SDK make load for the S Plus) to load the app to the Nano S and make delete to delete it.
  3. You can exit the image, with the command exit.

NOTE: For more information see the Ledger Dev Docs page: https://developers.ledger.com/docs/nano-app/load/

Load the application (MacOS)

Note Tested on Nano S only

To install the app, we need virtualenv, this module provides support for creating lightweight “virtual environments” with their own site directories, optionally isolated from system site directories.

Install virtualenv

$ sudo apt install python3-pip
$ pip3 install virtualenv

We will install the app on the hardware wallet Ledger Nano S. Take Ledger Nano S with its cable and plug it into the MacBook.

Run virtulenv

Move to the bin folder where the compiled sources are located.

$ cd $(realpath .)/bin

And run

$ virtualenv -p python3 ledger
$ source ledger/bin/activate
$ pip3 install ledgerblue

Deploy app to Ledger

Now it's time to deploy the binary file app.hex into the Ledger device.

python -m ledgerblue.loadApp --targetId 0x31100004 --apdu --tlv --fileName app.hex --appName Aptos --appFlags 0x00 --icon ""

While the process is running, see the screen of Ledger Nano, you need to do some task.

Uninstall App

To uninstall the app, you need to connect the device to the laptop, input the pin and then execute this command.

python -m ledgerblue.deleteApp --targetId 0x31100004 --appName "Hello"

Speculos emulator

Speculos is the emulator of Ledger hardware wallets (Nano S, Nano X, Nano S Plus and Blue) on desktop computers. It is particularly useful when

  • you don’t have the physical hardware device, or
  • you want to facilitate the pressing of Nano buttons.

Usage example:

$ ./speculos.py app-aptos/bin/app.elf --model nanosp --display headless --button-port 42000 --seed "shoot island position ..."

# ... and open a browser on http://127.0.0.1:5000

NOTE: For more information see the Speculos GitHub repositor: https://github.com/LedgerHQ/speculos/blob/master/docs/index.md

Documentation

High level documentation such as APDU, commands and transaction serialization are included in developer documentation which can be generated with doxygen

$ doxygen .doxygen/Doxyfile

the process outputs HTML and LaTeX documentations in doc/html and doc/latex folders.

Tests & Continuous Integration

The flow processed in GitHub Actions is the following:

It outputs 4 artifacts:

  • aptos-app-debug within output files of the compilation process in debug mode
  • speculos-log within APDU command/response when executing end-to-end tests
  • code-coverage within HTML details of code coverage
  • documentation within HTML auto-generated documentation
