Cryptodev imx6UL

[giuliodominutti]

Hello, I'm trying to include and use the cryptodev module. I used this configuration

This is not enough to have /dev/crypto available? In my case it's not present.

My purpose is to run the text on CAAM with openssl test

openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc -engine cryptodev

invalid engine "cryptodev"

I'm missing something, do you have some advices? Thanks

In addition you can see the list of available engines in openssl structure under /usr/lib/.

By the way please note that our OS only enables cryptodev for accelerating symmetric algorithms and hashing algorithms, not support asymmetric algorithms.

Have a great day,

I had compatibility problems, after kernel and fdt update I'm able to load the module. I have also another question linked to the usage of this module and dm-crypt (if some one tried this solution). Now that the module is loaded in /proc/crypto I can see available many caam driver, and if I use openSSL with this engine I can see an improvement in performances. But using dm-crypt with cryptsetup benchmark I don't see any performance improvements. Have some tips also on this ?

Thanks a lot again

Hi,

Add the crypto-dev module to your image to enable OpennSSL call to the CAAM, adding next line to conf/local.conf:

-> CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "cryptodev-module cryptodev-tests”

And make sure your kernel Konfig is like bellow:

Kernel Konfig:
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_FSL_CAAM=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_FSL_CAAM_SM=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_FSL_CAAM_SM_TEST=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_FSL_CAAM_SECVIO=y

Thank you,

Marius
