14.6.4.1. CBC Decryption using DMA
Normally, the AES block is used with the DMA. This provides the best performance and lowest power con-
sumption. Code examples are provided in 8051 compiler independent C code using the DMA. It is highly
recommended to use the code examples. The steps are listed here for completeness.
Prepare decryption key, initialization vector, and data to be decrypted in XRAM.
The initialization vector should be located immediately before the data to be decrypted to decrypt
multiple blocks.
Reset the AES module by clearing bit 2 of AES0BCFG.
Disable the first four DMA channels by clearing bits 0 to 3 in DMA0EN.
Configure the first DMA channel for AES0KIN
Select the first DMA channel by writing 0x00 to DMA0SEL
Configure the first DMA channel to move XRAM to AES0KIN by writing 0x05 to DMA0NCF
Write 0x01 to DMA0NMD to enable wrapping
Write the XRAM location of the decryption key to DMA0NBAH and DMA0NBAL.
Write the key length in bytes to DMA0NSZL
Clear DMA0NSZH
Clear DMA0NAOH and DMA0NAOL
Configure the second DMA channel for AES0BIN.
Select the second DMA channel by writing 0x01 to DMA0SEL.
Configure the second DMA channel to move XRAM to AES0BIN by writing 0x06 to DMA0NCF.
Clear DMA0NMD to disable wrapping.
Write the XRAM address of the data to be decrypted to DMA0NBAH and DMA0NBAL.
Write the number of bytes to be decrypted in multiples of 16 bytes to DMA0NSZH and DMA0NSZL.
Clear DMA0NAOH and DMA0NAOL.
Configure the third DMA channel for AES0XIN.
Select the third DMA channel by writing 0x02 to DMA0SEL.
Configure the third DMA channel to move XRAM to AES0XIN by writing 0x07 to DMA0NCF.
Clear DMA0NMD to disable wrapping.
Write the XRAM address of the initialization vector to DMA0NBAH and DMA0NBAL.
Write the number of bytes to be decrypted in multiples of 16 bytes to DMA0NSZH and DMA0NSZL.
Clear DMA0NAOH and DMA0NAOL.
Configure the forth DMA channel for AES0YOUT
Select the forth channel by writing 0x03 to DMA0SEL
Configure the forth DMA channel to move the contents of AES0YOUT to XRAM by writing 0x08 to DMA0NCF
Enable transfer complete interrupt by setting bit 7 of DMA0NCF
Clear DMA0NMD to disable wrapping
Write the XRAM address for the decrypted data to DMA0NBAH and DMA0NBAL.
Write the number of bytes to be decrypted in multiples of 16 bytes to DMA0NSZH and DMA0NSZL.
Clear DMA0NAOH and DMA0NAOL.
Clear first four DMA interrupts by clearing bits 0 to 3 in DMA0INT.
Enable first four DMA channels setting bits 0 to 3 in DMA0EN
Configure the AES module data flow for XOR on output data by writing 0x02 to AES0DCFG.
Write key size to bits 1 and 0 of AES0BCFG
Configure the AES core for decryption by clearing bit 2 of AES0BCFG
Initiate the decryption operation be setting bit 3 of AES0BCFG
Wait on the DMA interrupt from DMA channel 3
Disable the AES Module by clearing bit 2 of AES0BCFG
Disable the DMA by writing 0x00 to DMA0EN
