SiFive RISC-V HiFive1 Port
Overview
You can enable the wolfSSL support for RISC-V using the #define WOLFSSL_SIFIVE_RISC_V
.
Prerequisites
- Follow the instructions on the SiFive GitHub here and SiFive website here to download the freedom-e-sdk and software tools.
- Run a simple hello application on your development board to confirm that your board functions as expected and the communication between your computer and the board works.
Usage
You can start with a wolfcrypt example project to integrate the wolfSSL source code.
wolfSSL supports a compile-time user configurable options in the IDE/RISCV/SIFIVE-HIFIVE1/user_settings.h
file.
The IDE/RISCV/SIFIVE-HIFIVE1/main.c
example application provides a function to run the selected examples at compile time through the following two #defines in user_settings.h. You can define these macro options to disable the test run.
- #undef NO_CRYPT_TEST
- #undef NO_CRYPT_BENCHMARK
Setup
Setting up the SDK with wolfSSL
- Download the wolfSSL source code or a zip file from GitHub and place it under your SDK
$HOME
directory. You can also copy or simlink to the source.
For example,
$ cd $HOME
$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl.git
- Copy the wolfcrypt example project into your
freedom-e-sdk/software
directory.
$ cp -rf ~/wolfssl/IDE/RISCV/SIFIVE-HIFIVE1 ~/freedom-e-sdk/software/wolfcrypt
- Edit your
~/freedom-e-sdk/scripts/standalone.mk
and add the following line after the last RISCV_CFLAGS entry:
RISCV_CFLAGS += -I$(WOLFSSL_SRC_DIR) -I$(WOLFSSL_SRC_DIR)/IDE/RISCV/SIFIVE-HIFIVE1 -DWOLFSSL_USER_SETTINGS
- WOLFSSL_SRC_DIR variable must be set in the environment when GNU make is started.
$ export WOLFSSL_SRC_DIR=~/wolfssl
- Setup your riscv64 compiler
$ export RISCV_OPENOCD_PATH=/opt/riscv-openocd
- (Optional) Setup OpenOCD if your target supports it:
$ export RISCV_OPENOCD_PATH=/opt/riscv-openocd
Building and Running
You can build from source or create a static library.
- Using command-line:
$ cd freedom-e-sdk
$ make PROGRAM=wolfcrypt TARGET=sifive-hifive1-revb CONFIGURATION=debug clean software upload
This example cleans, builds and uploads the software on the sifive-hifive1-revb target but you can also combine and build for any of the supported targets.
Review the test results on the target console.
- Building a static library for RISC-V using a cross-compiler:
$ cd $WOLFSSL_SRC_DIR
$./configure --host=riscv64-unknown-elf \
CC=riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc \
AR=riscv64-unknown-elf-ar \
AS=riscv64-unknown-elf-as \
RANLIB=$RISCV_PATH/bin/riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc-ranlib \
LD=riscv64-unknown-elf-ld \
CXX=riscv64-unknown-elf-g++ \
--disable-examples --enable-static --disable-shared \
CFLAGS="-march=rv32imac -mabi=ilp32 -mcmodel=medlow -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -I~/freedom-e-sdk/bsp/sifive-hifive1/install/include -O0 -g -DNO_FILESYSTEM -DWOLFSSL_NO_SOCK -DNO_WRITEV -DWOLFCRYPT_ONLY -DWOLFSSL_SIFIVE_RISC_V"
$make
$sudo make install
You can now build and link your software to the wolfSSL libwolfssl.a static library.

Tested Configurations
- P-RNG (NIST DRBG) with SHA-256
- SHA 1/256/512
- AES 128/192/256 CBC/GCM
- ECC 256 sign/verify/shared secret with fast math or Single Precision (SP) library
- ED25519/Curve25519
- HMAC
- ChaCha20/Poly1305
Known Caveats
- If you find the wolfcrypt test stuck on early_trap_vector error, it is like related to memory issues
- Using the
__stack_size
default value of 0x400 will not be enough for the ECC test to pass. TheIDE/RISCV/SIFIVE-HIFIVE1/Makefile
overwrites the value with 0x1000 (4 KBytes) - Enabling RSA will cause the ECC test to fail due to memory shortage.
