Common Gotcha's

  • If compiling all code together (ie no separate wolfssl library) than the -fPIC compiler flag should be used. Without using -fPIC in this build setup there could be unexpected failures.
  • If building with ARMv8 crypto extensions then the compiler flags "-mstrict-align -mcpu=generic+crypto" must be used.
  • Check that enough stack and heap memory is set for the operations if a crash or stall happens.

Xilinx SDK wolfCrypt Vitis 2018.2 Project

To use this example project:

  1. Start a new workspace
  2. Create a new BSP called standalone_bsp_0.
  3. Copy .cproject and .project from IDE/XilinxSDK/2018_2 into the wolfSSL root.
  4. From the Xilinx SDK Import wolfBoot using "Import" -> "Existing Projects into Workspace".

Detailed Instructions For Example Use With Vitis 2019.2

  1. Create a new workspace located in the directory wolfssl/IDE/XilinxSDK/2019_2
  2. Create a new BSP, by selecting;
    • File->New->Platform Project
    • Setting "Project name" to standalone_bsp_0, then click "Next"
    • Select the "Create from hardware specification" radius and click "Next"
    • "Browse..." to the desired XSA file for the hardware
    • (optional) change Processor to R5 now
    • click "Finish"
  3. (optional) If building for TLS support than expand the standalone_bsp_0 project, double click on platform_spr, Expand the cpu (i.e psu_cortexa53_0), click on Board Support Package, select the "Modify BSP Settings..." box and click on lwip211. Note that the api_mode should be changed from RAW API to SOCKET API.
  4. Right click on the standalone_bsp_0 project and click on "Build Project"
  5. Import the wolfcrypt example project "File->Import->Eclipse workspace or zip file"
  6. Uncheck "Copy projects into workspace"
  7. Select the root directory of wolfssl/IDE/XilinxSDK/2019_2, and select wolfCrypt_example and wolfCrypt_example_system. Then click "Finish"

Steps For Creating Project From Scratch

  1. Create a new workspace
  2. Create a new BSP, by selecting;
    • File->New->Platform Project
    • Setting "Project name" to standalone_bsp_0, then click "Next"
    • Select the "Create from hardware specification" radius and click "Next"
    • "Browse..." to the desired XSA file for the hardware
    • (optional) change Processor to R5 now
    • click "Finish"
  3. (optional) If building for TLS support than expand the standalone_bsp_0 project, double click on platform_spr, Expand the cpu (i.e psu_cortexa53_0), click on Board Support Package, select the "Modify BSP Settings..." box and click on lwip211. Note that the api_mode should be changed from RAW API to SOCKET API.
  4. Right click on the standalone_bsp_0 project and click on "Build Project"
  5. Create wolfssl project File->New->Application Project
  6. Name the project wolfCrypt_example, select "Next"
  7. For the platform select standalone_bsp_0 and click next, then next once more on Domain.
  8. Select "Empty Application" and click "Finish"
  9. Expand the wolfCrypt_example project and right click on the folder "src".
  10. Select "Import Sources" and set the "From directory" to be the wolfssl root directory.
  11. Select the folders to import as ./src, ./IDE/XilinxSDK, ./wolfcrypt/benchmark, ./wolfcrypt/test, ./wolfcrypt/src
  12. (optional) Expand the Advanced table and select "Create links in workspace"
  13. Click on "Finish"
  14. Expand the wolfcrypt/src directory and exclude all .S files from the build
  15. Right click on the wolfCrypt_example project and got to Properties. Set the macro WOLFSSL_USER_SETTINGS in C/C++ Build->Settings->ARM v8 gcc compiler->Symbols
  16. Set the include path for finding user_settings.h by going to the Properties and setting it in C/C++ Build->Settings->ARM v8 gcc compiler->Directories. This is to the directory wolfssl/IDE/XilinxSDK
  17. Set the include path for finding wolfSSL headers. To the root directory wolfssl
  18. Add compiler flags "-fPIC -mstrict-align -mcpu=generic+crypto" to the project properties. C/C++ Build->Settings->ARM v8 gcc compiler->Miscellaneous
  19. Right click on wolfCrypt_example and "Build Project"
