NXP CAAM JOB RING (caam_jr)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The caam_jr PMD provides poll mode crypto driver support for NXP SEC 4.x+ (CAAM)
|
|
hardware accelerator. More information is available at:
|
|
|
|
`NXP Cryptographic Acceleration Technology <https://www.nxp.com/applications/solutions/internet-of-things/secure-things/network-security-technology/cryptographic-acceleration-technology:NETWORK_SECURITY_CRYPTOG>`_.
|
|
|
|
Architecture
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
SEC is the SOC's security engine, which serves as NXP's latest cryptographic
|
|
acceleration and offloading hardware. It combines functions previously
|
|
implemented in separate modules to create a modular and scalable acceleration
|
|
and assurance engine. It also implements block encryption algorithms, stream
|
|
cipher algorithms, hashing algorithms, public key algorithms, run-time
|
|
integrity checking, and a hardware random number generator. SEC performs
|
|
higher-level cryptographic operations than previous NXP cryptographic
|
|
accelerators. This provides significant improvement to system level performance.
|
|
|
|
SEC HW accelerator above 4.x+ version are also known as CAAM.
|
|
|
|
caam_jr PMD is one of DPAA drivers which uses uio interface to interact with
|
|
Linux kernel for configure and destroy the device instance (ring).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Implementation
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
SEC provides platform assurance by working with SecMon, which is a companion
|
|
logic block that tracks the security state of the SOC. SEC is programmed by
|
|
means of descriptors (not to be confused with frame descriptors (FDs)) that
|
|
indicate the operations to be performed and link to the message and
|
|
associated data. SEC incorporates two DMA engines to fetch the descriptors,
|
|
read the message data, and write the results of the operations. The DMA
|
|
engine provides a scatter/gather capability so that SEC can read and write
|
|
data scattered in memory. SEC may be configured by means of software for
|
|
dynamic changes in byte ordering. The default configuration for this version
|
|
of SEC is little-endian mode.
|
|
|
|
Note that one physical Job Ring represent one caam_jr device.

Limitations
|
|
-----------
|

* Hash followed by Cipher mode is not supported
|
|
* Only supports the session-oriented API implementation (session-less APIs are not supported).
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
caam_jr driver has following dependencies are not part of DPDK and must be installed separately:
|
|
|
|
* **NXP Linux SDK**
|
|
|
|
NXP Linux software development kit (SDK) includes support for the family
|
|
of QorIQ® ARM-Architecture-based system on chip (SoC) processors
|
|
and corresponding boards.
|
|
|
|
It includes the Linux board support packages (BSPs) for NXP SoCs,
|
|
a fully operational tool chain, kernel and board specific modules.
|
|
|
|
SDK and related information can be obtained from: `NXP QorIQ SDK <http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/run-time-software/linux-sdk/linux-sdk-for-qoriq-processors:SDKLINUX>`_.
|
|
|
|
Currently supported by DPDK:
|
|
|
|
* NXP SDK **18.09+**.
|
|
* Supported architectures: **arm64 LE**.
|
|
|
|
* Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.

|
Pre-Installation Configuration
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Config File Options
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file
|
|
to enable caam_jr PMD.
|
|
|
|
Please note that enabling debugging options may affect system performance.
|
|
|
|
* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_CAAM_JR`` (default ``n``)
|
|
By default it is only enabled in common_linuxapp config.
|
|
Toggle compilation of the ``librte_pmd_caam_jr`` driver.
|
|
|
|
* ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_CAAM_JR_BE`` (default ``n``)
|
|
By default it is disabled.
|
|
It can be used when the underlying hardware supports the CAAM in BE mode.
|
|
e.g. LS1043A, LS1046A supports CAAM in BE mode.
|
|
BE mode is enabled by default in defconfig-arm64-dpaa-linuxapp-gcc.
|
|
|
|
Installations
|
|
-------------
|
|
To compile the caam_jr PMD for Linux arm64 gcc target, run the
|
|
following ``make`` command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
cd <DPDK-source-directory>
|
|
make config T=arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-gcc install
|
|
|
|
Enabling logs
|

|
|
|
For enabling logs, use the following EAL parameter:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
./your_crypto_application <EAL args> --log-level=pmd.crypto.caam,<level>
