STM32 avalanche noise entropy source

+ +

This is an open source and open hardware entropy source, using an +STM32 microcontroller to gather entropy from a common avalanche +noise circuit.

+ +

A special thanks goes to Benedikt Stockebrand who designed the circuit +and the currently used core extraction algorithm in his ARRGH project.

+ +

Building

+ +

The following packages need to be installed (on Ubuntu 14.04):

+ +

apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi gdb-arm-none-eabi openocd

+ +

XXX not sure this is the complete set, if you find that you need +additional packages please let me know. See e-mail address at the bottom.

+ +

To build the source code, issue "make" from the top level directory +(where this file is). The first time, this will build the complete STM +CMSIS library. A subsequent "make clean" will not clean away the CMSIS +library, but a "make really-clean" will.

+ +

Installing

+ +

Do "make flash-target" from the top level directory (where this file is) +to build the firmware for the application selected in the top level +Makefile and flash it into the microcontroller. See the section STLINK +below for information about the actual hardware programming device needed.

+ +

Using

+ +

The microcontroller code can currently run in one of two modes, set +statically at the beginning of main(): MODE_DELTAS and MODE_ENTROPY.

+ +

MODE_ENTROPY is the default, and means the microcontroller will send +entropy as binary data as fast as it can get it, which is about 24 kB/s +in the current version of hardware and software. To get some entropy +and perform rudimentary analysis of it, and assuming USB is used and +the device was enumerated as ttyUSB0, do

+ +

ldattach -8 -n -1 -s 460800 tty /dev/ttyUSB0 + echo > /dev/ttyUSB0 + cat /dev/ttyUSB0 | rngtest -c 10 + cat /dev/ttyUSB0 | head -c 100000 | ent

+ +

For Raspberry-Pi, follow any of the guides on the internet for how to +enable the serial port on the GPIO pin header and then try

+ +

ldattach -s 115200 -8 -n -1 tty /dev/ttyAMA0 + echo > /dev/ttyAMA0 + cat /dev/ttyAMA0 | rngtest -c 10 + cat /dev/ttyAMA0 | head -c 100000 | ent

+ +

(the baud rate used with the R-Pi could probably be increased with a +little hardware debugging effort).

+ +

Which UART on the board that will receive the entropy is controlled +by the sending of a newline to the UART ('echo > /dev/ttyUSB0' and +'echo > /dev/ttyAMA0' in the examples above). The power on default is +the USB UART.

+ +

MODE_DELTAS is a quality assurance mode, and outputs the raw Timer IC +values captured for analysis. The stand alone program in src/delta16/ +parses the data format used by MODE_DELTAS and can convert it to +something you can analyse. More about how to do that later.

+ +

Contents

+ +

This documentation needs to be improved, but here are some quick notes:

+ +

Hardware design (Eagle and PDF files) are in hardware/rev09/

+ +

The firmware to extract entropy from this hardware is in src/entropy/

+ +

There are additional firmwares to aid in debugging any hardware issues +in src/led-test/ and src/uart-test/

+ +

Hardware

+ +

The avalanche noise circuit was first implemented using a NUCLEO-F401RE +evaluation board that has an STM32F401RET6 MCU. Because of human error, +the STM32F401RBT6 was used when assembling rev08 and rev09 boards. This +chip has less flash and RAM, so some region mappings had to change.

+ +

MCU dependant parameters are found in the top level common.mk near the +top, read the comments regarding STDPERIPH_SETTINGS, MCU_LINKSCRIPT and +SRCS.

+ +

STLINK

+ +

To program the MCU, an STLINK adapter is used. The cheapest way to get +one is to buy an evaluation board with an STLINK integrated, and pinouts +to program external chips. All the evaluation boards I've encountered +from STM has this ability. I'm using an STLINK from an STM32F4DISCOVERY +board, but the even cheaper NUCLEO-F401RE should work too. The NUCLEO +one has a STLINK v2.1 which is probably, but not necessarily, supported +by the OpenOCD version in your Linux distribution (as of end of 2014).

+ +

The STLINK programming pins are the 1+4 throughole pads above the ARM +on the circuit board. See the schematics for details, but the pinout +from left to right (1, space, 4) of rev09 is

+ +

NRST, space, CLK, IO, GND, VCC

+ +

Debugging the firmware

+ +

This site shows several ways to use various debuggers to debug the +firmware in an STM32:

+ +

http://fun-tech.se/stm32/OpenOCD/gdb.php

+ +

I've only managed to get the most basic text line gdb to work, +something along these lines:

+ +

1) Start OpenOCD server (with a configuration file for your type of STLINK + adapter)

+ +

$ openocd -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/board/stm32f4discovery.cfg

+ +

2) Connect to the OpenOCD server and re-flash already compiled firmware:

+ +

$ telnet localhost 4444 + reset halt + flash probe 0 + stm32f2x mass_erase 0 + flash write_bank 0 /path/to/main.bin 0 + reset halt

+ +

3) Start GDB and have it connect to the OpenOCD server:

+ +

$ arm-none-eabi-gdb --eval-command="target remote localhost:3333" main.elf
