libbaremetal

libbaremetal is composed of several sub-libraries which provide, libc stubs (think string.h's mem(), str()); utility functions (e.g., HPT abstraction, command line parameter parsing); TPM functions; and general cryptography routines (both asymmetric and symmetric). The following are the included sub-libraries and their functionality:

• libxmhfc - minimalistic libc functions

• libxmhfutil - various utility functions (e.g., HPT abstraction and command line parameter parsing)

• libtpm - functions to interact with a (physical) TPM

• libtv_utpm - hypervisor-agnostic core logic of the TrustVisor hypapp's Micro-TPM implementation

• libxmhfcrypto - general cryptography routines

Building

libbaremetal and sub-libraries are typically built using an out-of-tree build process as follows:

cd mybuilddir
make -f <path-to-libbaremetal-src>/Makefile

libbaremetal can also be built in-tree if needed as follows:

make

this will result in the objects and sub-libraries being generated in the _objects directory.
