This script automates all the steps required to build various CHERI-related software.
For example cheribuild.py [options] sdk-riscv64-purecap
will create an SDK that can be
used to compile software as pure-capability code for a CHERI-RISC-V CPU, and cheribuild.py [options] run-riscv64-purecap
will start an instance of CheriBSD built as pure-capability code for CHERI-RISC-V in QEMU.
cheribuild.py
also allows building software for Arm's adaption of CHERI, the Morello platform, however not all targets are supported yet.
cheribuild.py
has been tested and should work on FreeBSD 12 and 13.
On Linux, Ubuntu 20.04/22.04, Debian 10/11/12 and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed are supported.
macOS 10.14 and newer is also supported.
When building on macOS the following commands will install the packages required for the most commonly used cheribuild targets:
brew install cmake ninja libarchive git glib gnu-sed automake autoconf coreutils llvm make wget pixman pkg-config xz texinfo mercurial
# Install samba for shared mounts between host and CheriBSD on QEMU
brew install samba
# If you intend to run the morello FVP model you will also need the following:
brew install homebrew/cask/docker homebrew/cask/xquartz socat dtc
If you are building CHERI on a Debian/Ubuntu-based machine, the following command will install the packages required for the most commonly used cheribuild targets:
apt install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config clang bison cmake mercurial ninja-build samba flex texinfo time libglib2.0-dev libpixman-1-dev libarchive-dev libarchive-tools libbz2-dev libattr1-dev libcap-ng-dev libexpat1-dev libgmp-dev
Older versions of Ubuntu may report errors when trying to install libarchive-tools
. In this case try using apt install bsdtar
instead.
If you are building CHERI on a RHEL/Fedora-based machine, the following command will install the packages required for the most commonly used cheribuild targets:
dnf install libtool clang-devel bison cmake mercurial ninja-build samba flex texinfo glib2-devel pixman-devel libarchive-devel bsdtar bzip2-devel libattr-devel libcap-ng-devel expat-devel time
If you are building CHERI on a FreeBSD machine, the following command will install the packages required for the most commonly used cheribuild targets:
pkg install autoconf automake bison cmake expat glib gsed llvm mercurial meson ninja pkgconf pixman samba
If you are building CHERI on an Arch Linux machine, the following command will install the packages required for the most commonly used cheribuild targets:
pacman -Syu autoconf automake libtool pkgconf clang bison cmake ninja samba flex texinfo time glib2 pixman libarchive bzip2 attr libcap-ng inetutils mercurial expat gmp
These package used approx 350MiB, though you probably have most already installed.
If you would like to make a change to cheribuild, please submit it as a GitHub pull request to
https://github.com/CTSRD-CHERI/cheribuild.
Cheribuild includes some pre-commit and pre-push hooks (using
pre-commit) that can catch issues that will
fail the pull request CI checks. To install the hooks, run the following command
python3 -m pip install -U --user pre-commit && pre-commit install -t pre-commit -t pre-push
.
In these examples the cheribuild.py
program is run from within the
cheribuild/
directory as ./cheribuild.py
with options following
the main command. Please note the leading ./
before the command
name. It is also possible to add the cheribuild/
directory to your
PATH
or to link the binary somewhere such as in a bin/
directory of
your choosing.
If you want to start up a QEMU VM running CheriBSD on top of the CHERI-RISC-V ISA run the following command:
./cheribuild.py run-riscv64-purecap -d
(-d means build all dependencies).
This command will build the CHERI compiler, QEMU, CheriBSD, create a disk image and boot that in QEMU.
If you want to start up a QEMU VM running CheriBSD on top of the Morello ISA use the following command:
./cheribuild.py run-morello-purecap -d
By default cheribuild.py
will clone all projects in ~/cheri
, use ~/cheri/build
for build directories
and install into ~/cheri/output
. However, these directories are all configurable (see below for details).
When building for the first time, cheribuild.py
will request user input multiple times, but the --force
/-f
flag can be used to accept the default.
If you would like to see what the script would do run it with the --pretend
or -p
option.
For even more detail you can also pass --verbose
or -v
.
It is also possible to run this script on a remote host by using the remote-cheribuild.py
script that is included in this repository:
remote-cheribuild.py my.remote.server [options] <targets...>
will run this script on my.remote.server
.
cheribuild.py [options...] targets...
Example: to build and run a pure-capability CheriBSD for RISC-V: cheribuild.py --include-dependencies run-riscv64-purecap
and
for a clean verbose build of LLVM cheribuild.py -v --clean llvm
When selecting a target you can also build all the targets that it depends on by passing the --include-dependencies
or -d
option.
However, some targets (e.g. all
, sdk-*
) will always build their dependencies because running them without building the dependencies does not make sense (see the list of targets for details).
There are many targets in cheribuild, and they fall into two categories: single
targets and multiarch targets.
Single targets, such as qemu
, sail
and install-morello-fvp
, are for
targets that only apply natively to the host machine.
Most targets, however, are multiarch targets.
These are always of the form <name>-<architecture>
, where <architecture>
indicates the architecture to compile/run code for, which will be
cross-compiling/emulating for anything other than native
.
For example, cheribsd-riscv64-purecap
will cross-compile CheriBSD for
pure-capability CHERI-RISC-V, disk-image-morello-purecap
will create a
CheriBSD disk image for pure-capability Morello and gdb-native
will build a
version of CHERI-GDB that runs natively on the host machine and be used to
remote debug CHERI-RISC-V and CHERI-MIPS.
Note that the <architecture>
in the target says nothing about what it can do,
only where it can do it.
For example, llvm-native
and llvm-riscv64
both exist; the former is a
CHERI-LLVM that will run natively on the host and can be used to cross compile
for both CHERI-MIPS and CHERI-RISC-V, whilst the latter is a CHERI-LLVM built
as a set of RISC-V binaries that will run on CheriBSD itself.
Where there are multiple variants of the source, there are multiple cheribuild
targets with different names which, in the case of multiarch targets, means a
different <name>
.
For example, llvm
refers to CHERI-LLVM, whereas morello-llvm
refers to
Arm's fork of CHERI-LLVM adding Morello support, and upstream-llvm
refers to
upstream's LLVM.
Thus, a target of morello-llvm-riscv64
would be Arm's Morello-extended
CHERI-LLVM fork built as a RISC-V binary to run on CheriBSD.

: AArch64 without CHERI supportmorello-purecap
: pure-capability AArch64 (Morello): all pointers are CHERI capabilities.amd64
: 64-bit Intel x86.
Most projects (the ones that don't build a full OS, but just a program or library) also support -native
configuration
that builds for the host. This can be useful to verify that changes made for CHERI have not broken the native builds.
The following targets are also supported, but discouraged, as they serve little benefit over and above their non-CHERI counterparts, and so should not be used unless absolutely sure.
If you still wish to use them despite that, they can be enabled with --enable-hybrid-targets
.
riscv64-hybrid
: RISC-V with CHERI support: pointers are integers by default but can be annotated with__capability
to use CHERI capabilities.mips64-hybrid
: MIPS with CHERI support: pointers are integers by default but can be annotated with__capability
to use CHERI capabilities.morello-hybrid
: AArch64 with CHERI (Morello) support: pointers are integers by default but can be annotated with__capability
to use CHERI capabilities.
For the cheribsd
, disk-image
and run
targets the hybrid vs purecap distinction applies solely to userspace (see below for more details).

In order to run CheriBSD you will first need to compile QEMU (cheribuild.py qemu
).
You will also need to build LLVM (this includes a compiler and linker suitable for CHERI) using cheribuild.py llvm
.
The compiler can generate CHERI code for MIPS (64-bit only) and RISCV (32 and 64-bit).
All binaries will by default be installed to ~/cheri/sdk/bin
.
To build CheriBSD run cheribuild.py cheribsd-<architecture>
, with architecture being one of
riscv64
: Kernel and userspace are RISC-V without CHERI support.riscv64-purecap
: Kernel is RISC-V with CHERI support (hybrid), and all userspace programs built as pure-capability CHERI binaries.mips64
: Kernel and userspace are MIPS without CHERI support.mips64-purecap
: Kernel is MIPS with CHERI support (hybrid), and all userspace programs built as pure-capability CHERI binaries.aarch64
: Kernel and userspace are AArch64 without CHERI support.morello-purecap
: Kernel is AArch64 with CHERI (Morello) support (hybrid), and all userspace programs built as pure-capability CHERI binaries.amd64
: Kernel and userspace are 64-bit Intel x86.
The following targets also exist but are disabled by default and discouraged (see Supported architectures for more details):
riscv64-hybrid
: Kernel is RISC-V with CHERI support (hybrid), but most programs built as plain RISC-V.mips64-hybrid
: Kernel is MIPS with CHERI support (hybrid), but most programs built as plain RISC-V.morello-hybrid
: Kernel is AArch64 with CHERI (Morello) support (hybrid), but most programs built as plain AArch64.
The disk image is created by the cheribuild.py disk-image-<architecture>
target and can then be used as a boot disk by QEMU.
In order to customize the disk image it will add all files under (by default) ~/cheri/extra-files/
to the resulting image. When building the image cheribuild will ask you whether it should add your
SSH public keys to the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
file in the CheriBSD image. It will also
generate SSH host keys for the image so that those don't change everytime the image is rebuilt.
A suitable /etc/rc.conf
and /etc/fstab
will also be added to this directory and can then be customized.
The default path for the disk image is ~/cheri/output/cheribsd-<architecture>.img
, i.e.
cheribsd-riscv64-purecap.img
for pure-capability RISC-V or cheribsd-mips64.img
for MIPS without CHERI support.
Since cheribuild.py was designed to be run by multiple users on a shared build system, it will tell QEMU
to listen on a port on localhost that depends on the user ID to avoid conflicts.
It will print a message such as Listening for SSH connections on localhost:12374
, i.e. you will need
to use ssh -p 12374 root@localhost
to connect to CheriBSD.
This can be changed using cheribuild.py --run/ssh-forwarding-port <portno> run-<architecture>
or be made persistent
with the following configuration file (see below for more details on the config file format and path):
{
"run-riscv64-hybrid": {
"ssh-forwarding-port": 12345
},
"run-riscv64-purecap": {
"ssh-forwarding-port": 12346
}
}
Connecting to CheriBSD via ssh can take a few seconds. Further connections after the first can be sped up by using the openssh ControlMaster setting:
Host cheribsd-riscv
User root
Port 12345
HostName localhost
ControlPath ~/.ssh/controlmasters/%r@%h:%p
ControlMaster auto
StrictHostKeyChecking no
Host cheribsd-riscv-purecap
User root
Port 12346
HostName localhost
ControlPath ~/.ssh/controlmasters/%r@%h:%p
ControlMaster auto
StrictHostKeyChecking no
You can also build a version of GDB that understands CHERI capabilities
either as a binary for the host (cheribuild.py gdb-native
) to debug coredumps or as a gues binary to use
for live debugging in CheriBSD (cheribuild.py gdb-mips64-hybrid
for MIPS and cheribuild.py gdb-riscv64-hybrid
for RISC-V).
The guest binary will be installed in usr/local/bin/gdb
under your CheriBSD rootfs and will be included
when you build a new disk image (cheribuild.py disk-image-<arch>
).
The native GDB will be installed to your SDK binary directory (~/cheri/sdk/bin
by default).
In order to cross-compile projects such as NGINX or PostgreSQL for CheriBSD you will first need a full SDK:
cheribuild.py cheribsd-sdk-mips64-purecap
. Then you can then run cheribuild.py postgres-mips64-purecap
or cheribuild.py nginx-mips64-purecap
, etc.
By default, these projects will be installed into your CheriBSD rootfs under /opt and will therefore be
automatically included the next time you build a disk image.
See cheribuild.py --list-targets
for a full list of targets.
There is currently experimental support to build libcxx as a baremetal library running on top of newlib.
This can be done by running cheribuild.py libcxx-baremetal -d
.
There are a lot of options to customize the behaviour of this script: e.g. the directory for
the cloned sources can be changed from the default of $HOME/cheri
using the --source-root=
option.
A full list of the available options with descriptions can be found towards the end of this document.
The options can also be made persistent by storing them in a JSON config file (~/.config/cheribuild.json
).
Options passed on the command line will override those read from the config file.
The key in the JSON config file is the same as the long option name without the intial --
.
For example if you want cheribuild.py to behave as if you had passed
--source-root /foo/bar/cheri/src --output-root /foo/bar/cheri/output --build-root /build -j 4 --cheribsd/build-options "-DWITHOUT_ZFS FOO=bar"
, you can write the following JSON to
~/.config/cheribuild.json
:
{
"source-root": "/foo/bar/cheri/src",
// build-root defaults to <source-root>/build
"build-root": "/build",
// output-root defaults to <source-root>/output
"output-root": "/foo/bar/cheri/output",
"make-jobs": 4,
"cheribsd": {
"build-options": ["-DWITHOUT_ZFS", "FOO=bar"]
}
}
If you invoke cheribuild.py as a prefixed command (e.g. debug-cheribuild.py, stable-cheribuild.py) it will
read the file ~/.config/{prefix}-cheribuild.json
instead. This makes it easy to build
debug and release builds of e.g. LLVM or build CheriBSD with various different flags.
If you have many config files (e.g. cheribsd-stable, -debug, -release, etc.) it is also
possible to #include
a base config file and only write the settings that are different.
For example a ~/.config/stable-cheribuild.json
could look like this:
{
"build-root": "/build-stable",
"#include": "cheribuild-common.json",
"cheribsd": {
"source-directory": "/my/other/cheribsd/worktree/with/the/stable/branch"
}
}
You will need to install python3-argcomplete:
pip3 install --user argcomplete
# Or install latest version from git:
git clone https://github.com/kislyuk/argcomplete.git
cd argcomplete
python3 setup.py install --user
NOTE: On FreeBSD pip and setuptools are not installed by default, so you need to run
python3 -m ensurepip --user
first.
# NOTE: the next command doesn't seem to work on FreeBSD
~/.local/bin/activate-global-python-argcomplete --user
# On FreeBSD (or if the above work for some other reason) do this:
echo 'eval "$(register-python-argcomplete cheribuild.py)"' >> ~/.bashrc
With tcsh add the following line to ~/.cshrc
:
eval "`register-python-argcomplete --shell tcsh cheribuild.py`"
Note: python-argcomplete-tcsh
must be in $PATH
(should be in ~/.local/bin/
).
I would also suggest using set autolist
to display all options.
NOTE: Since there are so many per-project options that are identical between all projects they are not all shown when running --help
. To see the full list of options that can be specified, run cheribuild.py --help-all
. Since this will generate lots of output it probably makes more sense to run cheribuild.py --help-all | grep <target_name>
.
