wolfssl-w32/IDE/SimplicityStudio

Silicon Labs Simplicity Studio

Tested with ERF32xG21 Starter Kit and Gecko SDK v3.2.2 and v4.2.3.

Simplicity Studio Example

Based on cli_kernel_freertos.

• Create a new example project for your board based on the CLI FreeRTOS example.
• Create a new wolfssl and put wolfSSL into it. Tip: Use ./scripts/makedistsmall.sh to produce a reduced bundle.
• Exclude (or delete) all .S and asm.c files.
• Exclude (or delete) directory not used (only the src, wolfcrypt and wolfssl directory are used).
• Add the IDE/SimplicityStudio/user_settings.h into wolfssl/user_settings.h.
• Add the IDE/SimplicityStudio/test_wolf.c to the project root.
• Add C preprocessor WOLFSSL_USER_SETTINGS.
• Add C include path wolfssl.
• Disable UART flow control: config/sl_iostream_usart_vcom_config.h -> #define SL_IOSTREAM_USART_VCOM_FLOW_CONTROL_TYPE usartHwFlowControlNone
• Adjust stack and heap to larger size 12KB:
  • Adjust the CLI stack. Edit config/sl_cli_config_inst.h to #define SL_CLI_INST_TASK_STACK_SIZE (12*1024)
  • Adjust the FreeRTOS heap. Edit config/FreeRTOSConfig.h to #define configTOTAL_HEAP_SIZE (12*1024)
• Add the following code to cli.c:

extern void wolf_test(sl_cli_command_arg_t *arguments);
extern void wolf_bench(sl_cli_command_arg_t *arguments);

static const sl_cli_command_info_t cmd_wolf_test =
  SL_CLI_COMMAND(wolf_test, "Run wolfCrypt tests", "",
                 { SL_CLI_ARG_WILDCARD, SL_CLI_ARG_END, });

static const sl_cli_command_info_t cmd_wolf_bench =
  SL_CLI_COMMAND(wolf_bench, "Run wolfCrypt benchmarks", "",
                 { SL_CLI_ARG_WILDCARD, SL_CLI_ARG_END, });

static sl_cli_command_entry_t a_table[] = {
  { "wolf_test", &cmd_wolf_test, false },
  { "wolf_bench", &cmd_wolf_bench, false },
  { NULL, NULL, false },
};

• If running wolfCrypt benchmark enable printf float
  • C/C++ Build Settings -> Settings -> Tool Settings -> GNU ARM C Linker -> General -> C Library "Printf float".

SE Manager

For SE Manager cryptography hardware acceleration see /wolfcrypt/src/port/silabs/README.md.

Enabled with WOLFSSL_SILABS_SE_ACCEL. Requires the "SE Manager" component to be installed.

Benchmarks with SE Accel

Tested on ERF32xG21 Starter Kit (Cortex M33 at 80 MHz) and Gecko SDK v3.2.2 (-Os).
