+= Getting Started on the Novena =

+

+== The Novena Board == 

+

+[[Image(http://bunniefoo.com/novena/pvt1_release/novena_pvt1e_top_sm.jpg)]]

+

+[http://www.kosagi.com/w/index.php?title=Novena_Main_Page Novena] is an open hardware and F/OSS-friendly computing platform. It is a small single-board Linux PC, with a Freescale i.MX6 (ARM

+Cortex-A9) CPU and a Xilinx Spartan-6 LX45 FPGA.

+

+It is available in limited quantities through [https://www.crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi/novena crowd supply].

+

+=== Setting up the Novena ===

+

+The Novena PVT-2 requires some initial setup. You will need to attach a USB keyboard and HDMI monitor.

+

+Once this is done, most of us prefer to run it headless, and ssh in.

+

+You may also want to bring the packages up to date:

+

+{{{

+$ sudo apt-get update

+$ sudo apt-get upgrade

+}}}

+

+== The Avalanche Noise Board ==

+

+[[Image(rev03-on-novena.jpg, 40%)]]

+

+The avalanche noise board is a Novena daughter board that contains a zener-diode noise circuit that can be read directly by the FPGA.

+

+''(More information from FT: block diagram, schematics, ...)''

+

+It is available in limited quantities directly from Fredrik Thulin, and will be distributed at the PrahaWorkshop.

+

+== Binary Packages ==

+

+Cryptech maintains an {{{apt}}} repository, with two binary packages for the Novena:

+* a bitstream, to be configured into the FPGA

+* software, to run on the CPU

+

+=== How to get them ===

+

+All commands are run on the Novena.

+

+1. First, get the hactrn CA certificate:

+

+{{{

+$ wget http://www.hactrn.net/cacert.asc

+}}}

+

+Get the key used to sign the CA certificate.

+

+{{{

+$ gpg --recv-keys 2DC6FF82

+}}}

+

+Validate the CA certificate

+

+{{{

+$ gpg cacert.asc

+}}}

+

+Install the CA certficiate.

+

+{{{

+$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/hactrn.org

+$ sudo mv cacert /usr/share/ca-certificates/hactrn.org/cacert.crt

+$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

+}}}

+

+2. Get the repository key.

+

+{{{

+$ wget https://apt.cryptech.is/novena/apt-gpg-key.asc

+}}}

+

+Validate the key.

+

+{{{

+$ id=37A8E93F5D7E7B9A

+$ gpg --recv-key $id

+$ gpg --check-sig $id

+$ gpg --export $id | sudo apt-key add -

+}}}

+

+See the apt-key(8) manual page for more information about the APT key database, including how to remove keys you don't want anymore.

+

+Install the key.

+

+{{{

+$ sudo apt-key add apt-gpg-key.asc

+}}}

+

+3. Get the packages

+

+Configure apt to use the repository.

+

+{{{

+$ sudo wget -q -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/novena.list http://apt.cryptech.is/novena/sources.list

+}}}

+

+Update the package index file.

+

+{{{

+$ sudo apt-get update

+}}}

+

+Get the cryptech meta-package.

+

+{{{

+$ sudo apt-get install cryptech-novena

+}}}

+

+This installs the {{{cryptech-novena-rtl}}} and {{{cryptech-novena-sw}}} packages.

+

+The {{{cryptech-novena-rtl}}} package includes an {{{init.d}}} script that configures the FPGA on system startup. This script should run automatically as part of the install process.

+

+=== Updating the packages ===

+

+Once you've performed the steps above you should be able to upgrade to newer

+version of the code using the normal APT upgrade process, eg:

+

+{{{

+$ sudo apt-get update

+$ sudo apt-get upgrade

+}}}

+

+== Setting up PKCS!#11 ==

+

+The PKCS11 token is in /usr/lib/libpkcs11.so. In order to start using it you need to set a pin and an SO pin. This you do with p11util thus:

+

+{{{

+(echo 12345678;echo 1234) | sudo p11util --set-so-pin --set-user-pin --pin-from-stdin

+}}}

+

+It is strongly suggested to change the so pin and pin (in that order above) to something sensible. Now your token is ready to use. Your favorite PKCS11-client may or may not work depending on the state of support for PKCS11 function calls - please open tickets for whatever is missing. If you want/need to talk PKCS11 from another host, you could install and configure [[PKCS11Proxy]] on both the novena and your host. Note that currently pkcs11-proxy doesn't handle differing word-lengths so your client-side will have to be 32bit (since the novena is).

+

+

+== Setting up the lab signer ==

+

+The lab DNSSEC signer MUST, at this point, be running on a 32-bit system in order to work with the 32-bit Novena.
