26.6.4.1 Settings for Simple SHA Calculation

The start address of the system memory containing the data to hash must be configured in the transfer descriptor of the DMA embedded in the ICM.

The transfer descriptor is a system memory area integer multiple of 4 x 32-bit word and the start address of the descriptor must be configured in DSCR (the start address must be aligned on 64-bytes; six LSB must be cleared). If the data to hash is already padded according to SHA standards, only a single descriptor is required, and the EOM bit of RCFGn must be written to 1. If the data to hash does not contain a padding area, it is possible to define the padding area in another system memory location, the ICM can be configured to automatically jump from a memory area to another one by writing the descriptor register RNEXT with a value that differs from 0. Writing the RNEXT register with the start address of the padding area forces the ICM to concatenate both areas, thus providing the SHA result from the start address of the hash area configured in HASH.

Whether the system memory is configured as a single or multiple data block area, the bits CDWBN and WRAP must be cleared in the region descriptor structure member RCFGn. The bits WBDIS, EOMDIS, SLBDIS must be cleared in CFG.

Write the bits RHIEN and ECIEN in the Region Configuration Structure Member (RCFGn) to ‘0’:
  • The flag RHC[i], i being the region index, is set (if RHIEN is ‘0’) when the hash result is available at address defined in HASH.
  • The flag REC[i], i being the region index, is set (if ECIEN is ‘0’) when the hash result is available at the address defined in HASH.

An interrupt is generated if the bit RHC[i] is written to ‘1’ in the IER (if RHC[i] is set in RCTRL of region i) or if the bit REC[i] is written to 1 in the IER (if REC[i] is set in RCTRL of region i).
