rust-hwi

Rust wrapper for the Bitcoin Hardware Wallet Interface library.

This library internally uses PyO3 to call HWI's functions. It is not a re-implementation of HWI in native Rust.

Prerequisites

Python 3 is required. The libraries and udev rules for each device must also be installed. Some libraries will need to be installed

For Ubuntu/Debian: bash sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev python3-dev

For Centos: bash sudo yum -y install python3-devel libusbx-devel systemd-devel

For macOS: bash brew install libusb

Install

• Clone the repo bash git clone https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/rust-hwi.git && cd rust-hwi

• Create a virtualenv:

bash virtualenv -p python3 venv source venv/bin/activate

• Install all the dependencies using pip:

bash pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

```rust use bitcoin::Network; use bitcoin::util::bip32::DerivationPath; use hwi::error::Error; use hwi::HWIClient; use std::str::FromStr;

fn main() -> Result<(), Error> { let mut devices = HWIClient::enumerate()?; if devices.isempty() { panic!("No devices found!"); } let firstdevice = devices.remove(0)?; let client = HWIClient::getclient(&firstdevice, true, Network::Testnet)?; let derivationpath = DerivationPath::fromstr("m/44'/1'/0'/0/0").unwrap(); let s = client.signmessage("I love BDK wallet", &derivationpath)?; println!("{:?}", s.signature); Ok(()) } ```

Testing

To run the tests, you need to have a hardware wallet plugged in. If you don't have a HW for testing, you can try: - Coldcard simulator - Trezor simulator - Ledger simulator

Don't use a device with funds for testing!

Either use a testing device with no funds, or use a simulator.

You can run the tests with cargo test.
