Overview
For the NVMe device given, send an nvme rpmb command and provide the results.
The <device> parameter is mandatory and NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0) must be specified. If the given device supports RPMB targets, command given with --cmd or -c option shall be sent to the controller. If given NVMe device doesn’t support RPMB targets, a message indicating the same shall be printed along with controller register values related RPMB.
Options
-
-c <command>, --cmd=<command> -
RPMB command to be sent to the device. It can be one of the following
info - print information regarding supported RPMB targets and access and total sizes. No further arguments are requiredprogram-key - program 'key' specified with -k option or key read from file specified with --keyfile option to the specified RPMB target given with --target or -t options. As per spec, this is one time action which can't be undone.read-counter - Read 'write counter' of specified RPMB target. The counter value read is printed onto STDOUTread-config - Read 512 bytes of device configuration block data of specified RPMB target of the NVMe device. The data read is written to input file specified with --msgfile or -f option. write-config - Write 512 byes of device configuration block data from file specified by --msgfile or -f options to the RPMB target specified with --target or -t options.read-data - Supports authenticated data reading from specified RPMB target (--target or -t option) at given offset specified with --address or -o option, using key specified using --keyfile or -k options. --blocks or -o option should be given to read the amount of data to be read in 512 byte blocks.write-data - Supports authenticated data writing to specified RPMB target (--target or -t option) at given offset specified with --address or -o option, using key specified using --keyfile or -k options. --blocks or -o option should be given to indicate amount of data to be written in 512 byte blocks.For data transfer (read/write) commands, if the specified size is not within the total size supported by a target, the request is failed nvme-rpmb without sending it to device. RPMB target 0 is used as the default target if --target or -t is not specified. 0x0 is used as the default address if no -address or -o option is specified,
-
-t <target>, --target=<target> -
RPMB target id. This should be one of the supported RPMB targets as reported by info command. If nothing is given, default of 0 is used as RPMB target.
-
-k <key>, --key=<key>, -g <key-file>, --keyfile=<key-file> -
Authentication key to be used for read/write commands. This should have been already programmed by program-key command for given target. Key can be specified on command line using --key or -k options. Key can also be specified using file argument specified with --keyfile or -g options.
-
-f <data-file>, --msgfile=<data-file> -
Name of the file to be used for data transfer commands (read or write). For read command, if an existing file is specified, it will be appended.
-
-d <data>, --msg=<data> -
These options provide the data on the command line itself.
-
-o <offset>, --address=<offset> -
The address (in 512 byte sector offset from 0) to be used for data transfer commands (read or write) for a specified RPMB target.
-
-b, --blocks=<sectors> -
The size in 512 byte sectors to be used for data transfer commands (read or write) for a specified RPMB target.
-
-o <fmt>, --output-format=<fmt> -
Set the reporting format to normal, json or binary. Only one output format can be used at a time.
-
-v, --verbose -
Increase the information detail in the output.
Examples
• Print RPMB support information of an NVMe device
# nvme rpmb /dev/nvme0 --cmd=info
• Program SecretKey as authentication key for target 1
# nvme rpmb /dev/nvme0 --cmd=program-key -key='SecretKey' --target=1
• Read current write counter of RPMB target 0
# nvme rpmb /dev/nvme0 --cmd=read-counter --target=0
• Read configuration data block of target 2 into config.bin file
# nvme rpmb /dev/nvme0 --cmd=read-config --target=2 -f config.bin
• Write 200 blocks of (512 bytes) from input.bin onto target 0
# nvme rpmb /dev/nvme0 -c write-data -t 0 -f input.bin -b 200 -k 'SecretKey'
• Read 200 blocks of (512 bytes) from target 2, at offset 0x100 and save the
• data onto output.bin
# nvme rpmb /dev/nvme0 -c read-data -t 2 -f out.bin -b 200 -o 0x100
