# rust-hwi Rust wrapper for the [Bitcoin Hardware Wallet Interface](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI/) library. Crate Info API Docs Rustc Version 1.63+ Chat on Discord This library internally uses PyO3 to call HWI's functions. It is not a re-implementation of HWI in native Rust. ## MSRV The MSRV for this project is `1.63.0`. ## Prerequisites Python 3 is required. The libraries and [udev rules](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI/blob/master/hwilib/udev/README.md) 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::bip32::DerivationPath; use hwi::error::Error; use hwi::HWIClient; use std::str::FromStr; fn main() -> Result<(), Error> { let mut devices = HWIClient::enumerate()?; if devices.is_empty() { panic!("No devices found!"); } let first_device = devices.remove(0)?; let client = HWIClient::get_client(&first_device, true, Network::Bitcoin.into())?; let derivation_path = DerivationPath::from_str("m/44'/1'/0'/0/0").unwrap(); let s = client.sign_message("I love BDK wallet", &derivation_path)?; 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](https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware) - [Trezor simulator](https://docs.trezor.io/trezor-firmware/core/emulator/index.html) - [Ledger simulator](https://github.com/LedgerHQ/speculos) **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`.
