RNG Job Descriptor to copy random number to system RAM

fmajeric — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:10:44 GMT

Hello,

I read a resolved discussion about RNG Job Descriptor:

P4080 SEC4.0 Job Descriptor to copy random numbers to system RAM

I've the same need : generate a simple random number and store it at the address 0x10000170 in RAM.

So I use the descriptor provided in the answer of the discussion:

### rnggen_1

[00] B0800006 jobhdr: stidx=0 len=6

[01] 12820004 ld: ccb1-datasz len=4 offs=0 imm

[02] 00000020 data:0x00000020

[03] 82500000 operation: cls1-op rng (SH0) generate random

[04] 60300020 fifostr: msg len=32

[05] 10000170 @ptr->@0x10000170

But when I load the Job Descriptor Base Address into the Input Job Ring Register,

I have no Random number at the address @0x10000170...

... what is the problem with this descriptor ?

What I don't do well ?

Please, could you help me ?

Fabien.

What is the Job termination status returned for this JD?

Have a great day,

Hi Platon,

I will try to explain what happened:

1- First, I load the descriptor in RAM memory. I initiate all the Job Ring registers in CAAM (size, addresses, ...)

Addresses in RAM	Comments	Values
0x10000000	JR0_input_Base_Addr	0x10000100
...	... ...	...
0x10000040	JR0_Output_Base_Addr	0x00000000
...	... ...	...
0x10000100	jobhdr: stidx=0 len=6	0xB0800006
0x10000104	ld: ccb1-datasz len=4 offs=0 imm	0x12820004
0x10000108	data:0x00000020	0x00000020
0x1000010C	operation: cls1-op rng (SH0) generate random	0x82500000
0x10000110	fifostr: msg len=32	0x60300020
0x10000114	@ptr->@0x10000170	0x10000170
...	... ...	...
0x10000170	where the descriptor tell the CAAM to store the result.	0x00000000
...	... ...	...

--> At this moment, the status register are:

Addresses in RAM	Comments	Values
0x02100DF4	JRJDS — Job Ring Job-Done Status Register	0x00000000
...	... ...	...
0x02100FD4	CSTA — CAAM Status Register	0x00000006
...	... ...	...
0x02101044	JROSR0 — Job Ring Output Status Register for Job Ring 0	0x00000000
...	... ...	...
0x02101FD4	CSTA — CAAM Status Register	0x00000006

2- Then I write into the IRJAR0 of the CAAM the value 0x1 in order it begin its work:

0x0210101C

IRJAR0 — Input Ring Jobs Added Register for Job Ring 0

0x00000001

3- Last it returns this:

Addresses in RAM	Comments	Values
0x10000000	JR0_input_Base_Addr	0x10000100
...	... ...	...
0x10000040	JR0_Output_Base_Addr	0x10000100
0x10000044		0x20000454
...	... ...	...
0x10000100	jobhdr: stidx=0 len=6	0xB0800006
0x10000104	ld: ccb1-datasz len=4 offs=0 imm	0x12820004
0x10000108	data:0x00000020	0x00000020
0x1000010C	operation: cls1-op rng (SH0) generate random	0x82500000
0x10000110	fifostr: msg len=32	0x60300020
0x10000114	@ptr->@0x10000170	0x10000170
...	... ...	...
0x10000170	where the descriptor tell the CAAM to store the result.	0x00000000
...	... ...	...

--> then the status registers are:

Addresses in RAM	Comments	Values
0x02100DF4	JRJDS — Job Ring Job-Done Status Register	0x00000000
...	... ...	...
0x02100DF4	CSTA — CAAM Status Register	0x00000005
...	... ...	...
0x02100DF4	JROSR0 — Job Ring Output Status Register for Job Ring 0	0x20000454
...	... ...	...
0x02101FD4	CSTA — CAAM Status Register	0x00000005

I hope it explains quite well the situation. If not don't hesitate to ask me some specifications.

Thank you for your help,

Fabien.

The job status tells you that RNG has not been instantiated. Refer to Security RM, Sections 5.7.3.2.1, 5.7.3.2.2,

Table 5-68.
