I've looked into this and unfortunately the hardware cannot do that.
I'll spend some
time looking into what this means (I'm not the author of the driver,
so will need to
become a bit more familiar with it).
Hi Herbert,
Firstly apologies that there have been quite a few weeks since we last
discussed this driver!
I understand that because the HW does not support an initial hash state,
I can only implement digest, and not init, update and final. You
mentioned that I would have to do everything else using a fallback
driver - but I'm not clear on:
- If it is mandatory to impement a fallback driver (because the
potential users of the framework would not know only digest is supported?)
- or can I just remove the support for init update and final?
If I need to implement fallback drivers, would the Niagra2 SPU driver be
a good reference
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/crypto/n2_core.c ?
Thanks,
James
