Advanced Setup: Customize Your Build Environment

Platforms

To get started with Teaclave TrustZone SDK, you could choose either QEMU for Armv8-A (QEMUv8) or other platforms (platforms OP-TEE supported) as your development environment.

Develop with QEMUv8

The OP-TEE libraries are needed when building Rust applications, so you should finish the Quick start with the OP-TEE Repo for QEMUv8 part first. Then initialize the building environment in Teaclave TrustZone SDK, build Rust applications and copy them into the target's filesystem.

Teaclave TrustZone SDK is located in [YOUR_OPTEE_DIR]/optee_rust/. Teaclave TrustZone SDK in OP-TEE repo is pinned to the release version. Alternatively, you can try the develop version using git pull:

cd [YOUR_OPTEE_DIR]/optee_rust/
git pull github master

Develop on Other Platforms

If you are building trusted applications for other platforms (platforms OP-TEE supported). QEMU and the filesystem in the OP-TEE repo are not needed. You can follow these steps to clone the project and build applications independently from the complete OP-TEE repo. In this case, the necessary OP-TEE libraries are initialized in the setup process.

  1. The complete list of prerequisites can be found here: OP-TEE Prerequisites.

    # install dependencies
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot autoconf \
automake bc bison build-essential ccache cscope curl device-tree-compiler \
expect flex ftp-upload gdisk iasl libattr1-dev libc6:i386 libcap-dev \

rsync unzip uuid-dev xdg-utils xterm xz-utils zlib1g-dev

    Alternatively, you can use a docker container built with our Dockerfile.

  2. After installing dependencies or building the Docker image, fetch the source code from the official GitHub repository:

    git clone https://github.com/apache/teaclave-trustzone-sdk.git
cd teaclave-trustzone-sdk

Setup Building Environment

Currently, we support building on both aarch64 and x86_64 host machines, and they share the same steps.

  1. Install the Rust environment and toolchains:

    ./setup.sh

  2. Build OP-TEE libraries

    By default, the OPTEE_DIR is teaclave-trustzone-sdk/optee/. OP-TEE submodules (optee_os and optee_client for QEMUv8) will be initialized automatically by executing:

    ./build_optee_libraries.sh optee/

  3. Before building applications, set up the configuration:

    a. By default, the target platform is aarch64 for both CA and TA. If you want to build for the arm target, you can set up ARCH:

    export ARCH_HOST=arm
export ARCH_TA=arm

    b. By default, the build is for no-std TA. If you want to enable std TA, set the STD variable:

    export STD=y

  4. Run this script to set up all toolchain and library paths:

    source environment

Build Examples

Run this command to build all Rust examples:

make examples

Or build your own CA and TA:

make -C examples/[YOUR_APPLICATION]

Besides, you can collect all example CAs and TAs to /teaclave-trustzone-sdk/out:

make examples-install

Run Rust Applications

Considering the platform has been chosen (QEMUv8 or other), the ways to run the Rust applications are different.

Run Rust Applications in QEMUv8

  1. The shared folder is needed to share CAs and TAs with the QEMU guest system. Recompile QEMU in OP-TEE to enable QEMU VirtFS:
(cd $OPTEE_DIR/build && make QEMU_VIRTFS_ENABLE=y qemu)
  1. Copy all the Rust examples or your own applications to the shared folder:
mkdir shared_folder
cd [YOUR_OPTEE_DIR]/optee_rust/ && make examples-install)
cp -r [YOUR_OPTEE_DIR]/optee_rust/out/* shared_folder/
  1. Run QEMU:
(cd $OPTEE_DIR/build && make run-only QEMU_VIRTFS_ENABLE=y
QEMU_VIRTFS_HOST_DIR=$(pwd)/shared_folder)
  1. After the QEMU has been booted, you need to mount the shared folder in the QEMU guest system (username: root), in order to access the compiled CA/TA from QEMU. Run the command as follows in the QEMU guest terminal:
mkdir shared && mount -t 9p -o trans=virtio host shared
  1. Then run CA and TA as this documentation describes.

Run Rust Applications on Other Platforms

Copy the applications to your platform and run.
