iMX6UL Using CAAM Memory More Than 16 KB

radikedalpatadu — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 08:18:21 GMT

Hi All,

I am currently using an iMX6UL secure chip. According to the Reference Manual, CAAM starts at the address 0010_0000 and ends at the address 0010_7FFF. The total size is 32KB.

However, in the device tree include file "imx6ul.dtsi" following memory size is allocated to the CAAM memory:

caam_sm: caam-sm@00100000 {
compatible = "fsl,imx7d-caam-sm", "fsl,imx6q-caam-sm";
reg = <0x00100000 0x3fff>;
};

As can be seen above, the amount of size allocated is 0x3fff, which is less than 16KB.

Any idea what could be the reason to define it like above?

I wanted to use further CAAM RAM more than 16KB, however, it fails when mapping virtual memory at the 5th Page.

Linux BSP version I am using: 3.14.38

Thanks!!!

Hello,

The device tree file states about i.MX6Q compatibility.

IMX6Q CAAM has 16 KB secure RAM.

Have a great day,
Yuri
