Overview
This example shows how to integrate SUIT-compliant firmware updates into a RIOT application. It implements basic support of the SUIT architecture using the manifest format specified in draft-ietf-suit-manifest-09.
WARNING: This code should not be considered production ready for the time being. It has not seen much exposure or security auditing.
This document describes the preliminary requirements for using the SUIT workflow to update binaries on RIOT.
Table of Contents:
Prerequisites
-
Install python dependencies (only Python3.6 and later is supported):
$ pip3 install --user cbor2 cryptography
-
Install aiocoap from the source
$ pip3 install --user aiocoap[linkheader]>=0.4.1
See the aiocoap installation instructions for more details.
-
add
~/.local/bin
to PATHThe aiocoap tools are installed to
~/.local/bin
. Either add "exportPATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin"
to your~/.profile
and re-login, or execute that command in every shell you use for this tutorial. -
Clone this repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT $ cd RIOT
-
In all hardware-based setup below,
ethos
(EThernet Over Serial) is used to provide an IP link between the host computer and a board.Just build
ethos
anduhcpd
with the following commands:$ make -C dist/tools/ethos clean all $ make -C dist/tools/uhcpd clean all
It is possible to interact with the device over it's serial terminal as usual using
make term
, but that requires an already set up tap interface. See [update] for more information.
Key Management
SUIT keys consist of a private and a public key file, stored in $(SUIT_KEY_DIR)
.
Similar to how ssh names its keyfiles, the public key filename equals the
private key file, but has an extra .pub
appended.
SUIT_KEY_DIR
defaults to the keys/
folder in $XDG_DATA_HOME/RIOT
(usually ~/.local/share/RIOT/keys
).
If the chosen key doesn't exist, it will be generated automatically.
That step can be done manually using the suit/genkey
target.
Workflows
Two workflows are available with this example. The first one demonstrates the SUIT workflow on a RIOT native instance on Linux. The workflow described aims to update the firmware on real-world hardware.
