chromeos_firmware

Get firmware information from a flash chip.

Function Arguments

Name	Type	Description
field	[‘firmware_keys’, ‘ro_ec_firmware’, ‘ro_fp_firmware’, ‘ro_main_firmware’]	The flash chip where this function probes the firmware from.

Description

This function mainly runs flashrom to get the firmware image from the specific flash chip and calculates the hash of some of the sections of the image.

• If field="firmware_keys", this function outputs sha1sum hash of the root key and the recovery key recorded in the readonly main firmware. If the keyset is develop keyset, the output will contain a special suffix mark #devkeys/rootkey and #devkeys/recoverykey. See Examples for detail.

• If field="ro_main_firmware", this function outputs the sha256 hash of the readonly main firmware and also the version of the firmware.

• If field="ro_ec_firmware", this function outputs the sha256 hash of the readonly EC firmware and also the version of the firmware.

• If field="ro_fp_firmware", this function outputs the sha256 hash of the readonly fingerprint firmware and also the version of the firmware.

Examples

As this function has only one single argument, the eval part of the probe statement can be simplified into a single string instead of a dictionary. For example, the probe statement for probing the key hash is

{
  "eval": "chromeos_firmware:firmware_keys":
}

, where chromeos_firmware:firmware_keys is equivalent to

{
  "chromeos_firmware": {
    "field": "firmware_keys"
  }
}

We category below examples into two use cases.

Probe the Key Hash (field="firmware_keys")

If the firmware is not signed and contains a develop keyset, the probed results must be

[
  {
    "rootkey": "kv3#b11d74edd6c14...0bc20cf041f10#devkey/rootkey",
    "recoverykey": "kv3#c14bd0b70d9...d8f43de48d4ed#devkey/recoverykey"
  }
]

Probe the RO Firmware Image Hash (field="ro_[main|ec]_firmware")

The values of the output must contains two fields: hash and version. For example:

[
  {
    "hash": "13497173ba1fb678ab3f...ebd27d00d",
    "version": "supercoolproj_v1.1.2738-3927abcd2"
  }
