P4080 SEC 4.0 Issue

Hi there,

 

I met a P4080 SEC 4.0 issue which made me very confused. I'd be very appretiated if anyone could help.

 

The SEC 4.0 driver I used was downloaded from the Freescale web site and I just added some interface files in the attached "sec_interface.c" file to fit driver into our firmware. Files in the driver are not touched. The operationg system is vxWorks 6.8.

 

My usage of SEC 4.0 is very simple:-

    - Enqueue a request to SEC job queue to do Kasumi ciphering

    - Wait until the operation is done, then dequeue the ciphering result.

 

The above steps are implemented in one function called "kasumi_f8" which is in the attached "sec_interface.c" file. This function could be called by two simultaneously running tasks on two different CPU cores very frequently. Sometimes, the ciphering operation is never done and kasumi_f8 will enter dead loop intermittently. After some investigation, it turns out that the ISTAR of the job queue indicates that the JRE bit is set and ERR_TYPE is 0b1000 which means "Removed too many jobs".

 

Then I wrote a function below to check the error and try to do the recover. This function is called at the beginning of "kasumi_f8", and count the times of recovering. It seems that this function recovers the SEC several times successfully, and I never met the issue after running the test for more than 24 hours.

 

However, I could not understand what caused the SEC error. Does anyone encounter the same issue?

 

Regards,

Zhou Kui

Hello Kuizhou.

 

I'm afraid I can't offer any insight yet into your posted question as I'm just beginning my use of SEC 4.0 in a P4080.

I'd like to ask where did you obtain the SEC 4.0 driver you mentioned in your original post?  I have the Freescale_SDK but I think the driver you reference isn't in the SDK I'm trying to use.

 

If possible, can you please supply a reference link or file name of the SEC 4.0 driver that you downloaded.

 

Thanks for any assistance you can supply.

 

Regards,

    Rick.
