MCF5235 MDHA SHA1 problem

changliu1 — Thu, 21 Sep 2017 06:38:45 GMT

I am using the MDHA of MCF5235 to calculate the SHA1.

The test code is :

void sha1_test()

{

   uint8 buf[]="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
   uint32 results[5]={0};
   int i;

   MCF_MDHA_MDCMR = MCF_MDHA_MDCMR_SWR;// software reset
   while(0 != (MCF_MDHA_MDCMR & MCF_MDHA_MDCMR_SWR)) // self clearing
   {}
   MCF_MDHA_MDCR = 0u;//disable all interrupt
   MCF_MDHA_MDMR = 0
                                       | MCF_MDHA_MDMR_PDATA
                                       | MCF_MDHA_MDMR_INIT;//enable initialization
   for(i=0;i<26;i=i+4)
   {
      MCF_MDHA_MDIN = *(uint32 *)buf[i];
   }
   MCF_MDHA_MDIN = *(uint32 *)buf[i];

MCF_MDHA_MDDSR = 26;
MCF_MDHA_MDCMR = MCF_MDHA_MDCMR_GO;// command = GO

delay(10);//delay 10 us

   results[0] = MCF_MDHA_MDA0;
   results[1] = MCF_MDHA_MDB0;
   results[2] = MCF_MDHA_MDC0;
   results[3] = MCF_MDHA_MDD0;
   results[4] = MCF_MDHA_MDE0;

}

The test result is : 0xC700DFB3, 0x14957954,0x9087EE75, 0xED04935D,0x30B541E9

It is different from the SHA1 tools from the web, for example https://www.cnfree.org/tools/hash.php

The test result is 0x32d10c7b,0x8cf96570,0xca04ce37,0xf2a19d84,0x240d3a89.

I had known both the results are correct. But why they are so different?

You should have searched this forum first for "MDHA". You're not the first one to have this problem.

MCF5271 SKHA and MDHA endian

And the trick? My code looks like this:

    MCF_MDHA_MDDSR = 64;
    for (i = 0; i != 16; ++i) {
        LOAD32H(a, buf + (4 * i));
        /* load data */
        MCF_MDHA_MDIN = bswap32(a);
    }
‍‍‍‍‍‍

Note the byte swap! Yes, hidden in the manual is the following single mention of this:

28.2.8 MDHA Message Digest Registers 0 (MDx0)
Each word (4 bytes) in the MDx0 is assumed to be in little endian byte order for all reads/writes.

This hardware module was always little-endian. So you have to byte-swap all data and keys going into this thing, and then swap it all back on the way out. Fortunately the CPU has a byte-swap machine code instruction, which you have to then go and write code or inline-assembly to use. If you don't you may take as long to swap the bytes as the hardware takes to do the operation! In some CPUs in this line (the MCF53xx but not MCF52xx) have a bit in the register that says "swap them for me!". That also means you can use DMA to funnel data through this module.

But not with your one.
