Coldcard Desktop Simulator

Usage

make && ./simulator.py

Other Startup Flags

The default is to boot up, skip the tedious PIN entry step, and start as a functional wallet (on testnet, always with the same seed). But there are other options:

-w => like a factory-fresh unit; no PIN no secrets
-l => PIN is set (12-12) but no secret yet
-2 => enable a secondary wallet, with pin 33-33 and no secret
-q => boot and drop into REPL; does nothing else, no setup
-f -w => boot like a unit that hasn't left factory yet

See frozen-modules/sim-settings.py for the details.

Requirements

uses good olde xterm for console input and output
this directory has additional requirements.txt (a superset of other requirements of the project)
run "brew install sdl2" before/after doing python requirements
run "make setup" then "make"
then "./simulator.py"

MacOS building

Follow instructions on https://github.com/micropython/micropython
probably: brew install libffi if not already present
to get pkg-config libffi to output useful things, need this:

setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig
but that's in the Makefile now

Other OS

sorry we haven't gotten around to that yet, but certainly would be possible to build this on Linux or FreeBSD... but not Windows.
