Hello All,
I am trying to implement hardware SHA-1 calculation support for my project.
My platform in Windows Embedded Compact 7
We don't need anything else, just a hardware calculation of SHA-1 which will only be done once.
I got necessary manuals etc. and started my implementation.
Implemented job ring support and tried constructing my job.
Basically, job ring interface works for me ok, I managed to run job which just loads 64 bytes of data into class 2 FIFO and it executed just fine.
This would mean that CAAM is functioning ok.
Problem starts when I try adding SHA-1 algorithm command: it just hangs in there and job execution hangs.
My job (currently) is very simple:
- header
- fifo load data into class2 message, final
- SHA-1 algorithm, no key, init/fin, class 2
What would cause SHA algorithm to hang? Did I miss something in initialization?
I tried just to call SHA1 init without of any data feed to FIFO; it still hangs...
(AFAIK it supposed to initialize data structures and then leave)
Our system runs HAB in bootloader and most of the CAAM initialization (presumably) happens there.
I almost run out of ideas where to look for possible problem(s).
Any help would really appreciated.
Alexey
UPD Question
Do I need to prime CAAM SHA1 with initial data?
My code does not do it. Could it cause my issues?
