Program the TKey-1 open hardware FPGA-based USB security token with TinyGo

This package is to develop applications using TinyGo on the Tillitis TKey-1, an open source, open hardware FPGA-based USB security token.

The tinygo-tkey package includes an implementation of the Tillitis framing protocol for communication between the device and client.

This can be used for device applications that run on the TKey hardware written using TinyGo. Of course, it pairs nicely with client applications written using "big" Go.

See the package documentation for more information, as well as the code in this repo.

tkey led

Example application for TKey written using TinyGo for the device application and Go for the client application.

To compile and flash the TKey with the device application:

tinygo flash -size short -target=tkey ./examples/blinker/app

The LED should start blinking green every half second.

Now you can run the command line client application on your computer:

go run ./examples/blinker/cmd --led 0 --timing 250

The LED should now be blinking blue every 250 ms.

ed25519 signing tool that runs on the TKey hardware device.

It can be used by the tkey-ssh-agent application for SSH authentication, and by the tkey-sign application for providing digital signatures of files.

See the README.md for more information.
