The first Secure IoT Stack for RISC-V – a secure implementation of freeRTOS with hardware enforced separation between the OS, TCP/IP stack and root of trust with TLS 1.3 / ECC for secure Internet of Things applications.
This reference implementation combines freeRTOS, picoTCP, wolfSSL and Root of Trust as physically isolated TEE zones
- X300 Bitstream : Rocket core with Ethernet Peripheral for Xilinx A7-35T Arty Board
- MultiZone Security Trusted Execution Environment configured for 4 Zones
- Zone 1: FreeRTOS with 3 tasks (CLI, LED PWM, Robot)
- Zone 2: PicoTCP + wolfSSL TLS 1.3 / ECC terminating Ethernet port
- Zone 3: Root of Trust
- Zone 4: USB UART Console
The MultiZone Secure IoT Stack supports a multitude of hardware targets. For a complete evaluation of the framework it is reccomended to use the open source softcore X300 developed by Hex Five Security. It is an enhanced version of the E300 SoC (Rocket) maintained by SiFive - entirely free for commercial and non-commercial use. Like the E300, the X300 is designed to be programmed onto a Xilinx Artix-7 35T Arty FPGA.
Hardware prerequisites: Xilinx Artix-7 35T Arty, Xilinx Vivado, Olimex ARM-USB-TINY-H Debugger
- Download the X300 bitstream .mcs file from https://github.com/hex-five/multizone-fpga/releases
- Program the .mcs file to the Arty board using Vivado
Software requirements: Install the reference RISC-V toolchain for Linux - directions specific to a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, other Linux distros generally a subset. To connect via TLS you'll need a TLS 1.3 client. If you itend to use OpenSSL, make sure you have version 1.1.1a or greater. At the time of writing, OpenSSL included in Debian 9 (stretch) and Ubuntu 18.04.2 is version 1.1.0, which does not support TLS 1.3.

If you have not already done so, you need to edit or create a file to place the USB devices until plugdev group so you can access them without root privileges:
sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/99-openocd.rules
Then place the following text in that file
# These are for the HiFive1 Board
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0403",
ATTR{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="664", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="664", GROUP="plugdev"
# These are for the Olimex Debugger for use with E310 Arty Dev Kit
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="15ba",
ATTR{idProduct}=="002a", MODE="664", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="15ba",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="002a", MODE="664", GROUP="plugdev"
Detach and re-attach the USB devices for these changes to take effect.
Add environment variables and a path to allow the Makefiles to find the toolchain
edit ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile and place the following text at the bottom of both files.
export RISCV=/home/<username>/riscv-gnu-toolchain-20181226
export OPENOCD=/home/<username>/riscv-openocd-20181226
export PATH="$PATH:/home/<username>/riscv-gnu-toolchain-20181226/bin"
Close and restart the terminal session for these changes to take effect.
cd multizone-secure-iot-stack/
make clean
make
This will result in a HEX file that is now ready to upload to the Arty board. There is know issue with the first upload after board power-on: if it upload takes more than a few seconds you may want to kill the openocd/gdb process and repeat the make load. Otherwise the first load may take up to two minutes.
make load
The system contains four zones:
- Zone 1: FreeRTOS with three tasks - CLI, LED PWM and Robot Control plus three interrupt handlers (BTN0-2)
- Press enter for a list of support commands
- Zone 2: TCP/IP + TLS Stack (picoTCP + wolfSSL) - accessable via ethernet port
- Ping to 192.168.0.2 (default address, set in Makefile)
- Telnet to port 23
- Connect via TLS: stty -icanon -echo && openssl s_client -tls1_3 -crlf -nocommands -connect 192.168.0.2:443
