# Notes on Hello Perso sample app. Hello Perso is a sample app from the LedgerHQ repository [blue-sample-apps](https://github.com/LedgerHQ/blue-sample-apps). It's stated purpose is to be a "a simple application showing the UI and master seed derivation." ### Compiling: Compiles fine inside Docker image, as in the process described in the [Getting Started](http://ledger.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nanos/setup.html) tutorial (which takes you through the Hello World tutorial). In extracting the hex-encoded compiled app from the docker container to my local machine, I changed the app name as follows: ``` bash sudo docker cp [container_id]:/home/blue-sample-apps/blue-app-helloperso/bin/app.hex perso-app.hex ``` I then loaded the app onto the Nano S using the following, and then discovered a problem: ``` bash python -m ledgerblue.loadApp --targetId 0x31100002 --apdu --fileName perso-app.hex --appName HelloPerso --appFlags 0x00 --icon "" ``` The problem: Hello Perso app requires the `APPLICATION_FLAG_GLOBAL_PIN` permission flag. I had just copied and pasted my loadApp command line for HelloWorld and changed the app name and image name. But the `--appFlags` argument needed to be changed to `--appFlags 0x40`. Symptoms: With the wrong permissions set, even though the app was successfuly loaded onto the device, it would freeze the Nano every time I started the app, requiring a power-cycle to get back to the dashboard. The correct load command was: ``` bash python -m ledgerblue.loadApp --targetId 0x31100002 --apdu --fileName perso-app.hex --appName HelloPerso --appFlags 0x40 --icon "" ``` ### How to remove apps: Problem Two: Repeating the loadApp() command with the correct flags failed because the app already existed on the device. It apparently won't overwrite. Thus I had to find a delete command, which fortunately is referenced in the Makefile. To manually delete the app, this is the command: ``` bash python -m ledgerblue.deleteApp --targetId 0x31100002 --appName HelloPerso ``` ### Permission flags defined: The `0x40` permission flag that was needed is defined by macro constant `APPLICATION_FLAG_GLOBAL_PIN` in [nanos-secure-sdk/include/os.h](https://github.com/LedgerHQ/nanos-secure-sdk/blob/master/include/os.h), along with many other application flags.
