Marvell NITROX Crypto Poll Mode Driver
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
The Nitrox crypto poll mode driver provides support for offloading
|
|
cryptographic operations to the NITROX V security processor. Detailed
|
|
information about the NITROX V security processor can be obtained here:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Nitrox crypto PMD has support for:
|
|
|
|
Cipher algorithms:
|
|
|
|
* ``RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_CBC``
|
|
|
|
Hash algorithms:
|
|
|
|
* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC``
|
|
* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA224_HMAC``
|
|
* ``RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA256_HMAC``
|
|
|
|
Limitations
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
* AES_CBC Cipher Only combination is not supported.
|
|
* Session-less APIs are not supported.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
For compiling the Nitrox crypto PMD, please check if the
|
|
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_NITROX setting is set to `y` in config/common_base file.
|
|
|
|
* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_NITROX=y``
|
|
|
|
Initialization
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Nitrox crypto PMD depend on Nitrox kernel PF driver being installed on the
|
|
platform. Nitrox PF driver is required to create VF devices which will
|
|
be used by the PMD. Each VF device can enable one cryptodev PMD.
|
|
|
|
Nitrox kernel PF driver is available as part of CNN55XX-Driver SDK. The SDK
|
|
and it's installation instructions can be obtained from:
