## TROPIC01 Secure Element with an open architecture
The TROPIC01 secure element is built with tamper-proof technology and advanced attack countermeasures to ensure robust asset protection, securing electronic devices against a wide range of potential attacks. It securely supplies and stores the cryptographic keys of embedded solutions.
The TROPIC01 datasheet is available via [this link](https://github.com/tropicsquare/tropic01/blob/main/doc/datasheet/ODD_tropic01_datasheet_revA6.pdf)

### Get samples
To get samples and DevKits, please fill in [this form](https://tropicsquare.com/tropic01-samples#form)
## Build Configuration
### Pre-requirements
1. Get one of the targeted hardware platforms. For example, Linux PC + TROPIC01 USB stick or Raspberry PI 3/4/5 + TROPIC01 RPI shield
2. Install toolchain (incl. compiler or cross-compiler). For example, GNU Toolchain (gcc) or ARM cross-compiling toolchain (armv8-rpi3-linux-gnueabihf)
3. Install CMake and Autotools
4. Install Git
Some guidelines for RPi are available [here](https://earthly.dev/blog/cross-compiling-raspberry-pi/)
Also, for Raspberry PI, there are a few more steps:
1. In raspi-config go to "Interface Options" and enable SPI
2. Install wiringPI:
```sh
$ wget https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi/releases/download/3.14/wiringpi_3.14_arm64.deb
$ sudo apt install ./wiringpi_3.14_arm64.deb
```
### Keys installation
For the integration with wolfSSL, there are a few pre-defined slots for the secure keys storage (the slots mapping might be changed in tropic01.h):
```sh
TROPIC01_AES_KEY_RMEM_SLOT 0 // slot in R-memory for AES key
TROPIC01_AES_IV_RMEM_SLOT 1 // slot in R-memory for AES IV
TROPIC01_ED25519_PUB_RMEM_SLOT_DEFAULT 2 // slot in R-memory for ED25519 Public key
TROPIC01_ED25519_PRIV_RMEM_SLOT_DEFAULT 3 //slot in R-memory for ED25519 Private key
TROPIC01_ED25519_ECC_SLOT_DEFAULT 1 // slot in ECC keys storage for both public and private keys
PAIRING_KEY_SLOT_INDEX_0 0 //pairing keys slot
```
All R-memory based keys must be pre-provisioned in the TROPIC01 Secure Element separately. For example, it might be done with the libtropic-util tool available [here] (https://github.com/tropicsquare/libtropic-util)
### Build TROPIC01 SDK (libtropic)
wolfSSL uses the "TROPIC01 SDK" (aka libtropic) to interface with TROPIC01. This SDK can be cloned from the TropicSquare GitHub https://github.com/tropicsquare/libtropic
Once the repo was downloaded, please follow [this guideline](https://github.com/tropicsquare/libtropic/blob/master/docs/index.md#integration-examples) on how to configure and build TROPIC01 SDK
Or run the following commands:
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/tropicsquare/libtropic.git
$ cd libtropic
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DLT_USE_TREZOR_CRYPTO=1 ..
$ make
```
### Build wolfSSL
1. Clone wolfSSL from the wolfSSL GitHub (https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl)
2. Make sure that the version of wolfSSL supports TROPIC01 - check if the folder wolfssl/wolfcrypt/src/port/tropicsquare exists
3. To compile wolfSSL with TROPIC01 support using Autoconf/configure:
```sh
$ cd wolfssl
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --with-tropic01=PATH --enable-cryptocb --enable-static --disable-crypttests --disable-examples --disable-shared --enable-ed25519
$ make
$ sudo make install
```
where PATH is an absolute path to the libtropic folder, for example
--with-tropic01=/home/pi/git/libtropic
For the debugging output, add
--enable-debug
### Build test application
The test application for Raspberry Shield and USB stick can be cloned from the TropicSquare GitHub https://github.com/tropicsquare/tropic01-wolfssl-test
To build and run the test application, please run the following commands
```sh
$ git clone git@github.com:tropicsquare/tropic01-wolfssl-test.git
$ cd tropic01-wolfssl-test
```
If necessary, open and edit the Makefile in this folder
Set correct values for CC and LIBTROPIC_DIR variables, for example:
CC = gcc
LIBTROPIC_DIR = /home/pi/git/libtropic
Then run the following commands to build and run the test application for the USB stick:
```sh
$ make
$ ./lt-wolfssl-test
```
or for Raspberry PI shield (make sure you fulfill all prerequisites first):
```sh
$ make RPI_SPI=1
$ ./lt-wolfssl-test
```
In case of success, the output of the test application should look like this:
```sh
