We are developing a AM3352 based system (600MHz AM3352, 256MB DDR3 RAM @ 400MHz) using TISDK 7.
I was looking at the openssl performance.
I have all the HW crypto devices enabled
[ 1.555796] omap-sham 53100000.sham: hw accel on OMAP rev 4.3 [ 1.563542] omap-aes 53500000.aes: OMAP AES hw accel rev: 3.2
Without HWA, when I run the openssl speed test on my system, I got
/data/openssl speed aes-128-cbc Doing aes-128 cbc for 3s on 16 size blocks: 3661531 aes-128 cbc's in 2.67s Doing aes-128 cbc for 3s on 64 size blocks: 1053015 aes-128 cbc's in 2.72s Doing aes-128 cbc for 3s on 256 size blocks: 271544 aes-128 cbc's in 2.72s Doing aes-128 cbc for 3s on 1024 size blocks: 67632 aes-128 cbc's in 2.67s Doing aes-128 cbc for 3s on 8192 size blocks: 8261 aes-128 cbc's in 2.70s OpenSSL 1.0.1j 15 Oct 2014 built on: Wed Feb 11 08:09:42 CST 2015 options:bn(64,32) rc4(ptr,char) des(idx,cisc,16,long) aes(partial) idea(int) blowfish(ptr) compiler: arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -march=armv7-a -marm -mthumb-interwork -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon -mtune=cortex-a8 --sysroot=/home/jenkins/amsdk-nightly-build/build-CORTEX_1/arago-tmp-external-linaro-toolchain/sysroots/am335x-evm -fPIC -DOPENSSL_PIC -DOPENSSL_THREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -isystem/opt/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.03-20130313_linux/arm-linux-gnueabihf/include -fstack-protector -O2 -pipe -g -feliminate-unused-debug-types -Wall -Wa,--noexecstack -DHAVE_CRYPTODEV -DUSE_CRYPTODEV_DIGESTS -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_GF2m -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DSHA512_ASM -DAES_ASM -DGHASH_ASM The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed. type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes aes-128 cbc 21941.76k 24776.82k 25557.08k 25938.27k 25064.49k
I managed to get cryptodev-linux-1.8 compiled, after inserting the module, I got
root@LiteOn-SMC:/data# insmod cryptodev.ko [249879.322715] cryptodev: driver 1.8 loaded.
And I can now see the device /dev/crypto.
However, when I run the speed test again, I got the pretty much the same result as without HWA.

I thought that HWA should give me much better performance.
There is no error message from the console, so I am not sure how to interpret the result.
Your help are greatly appreciated.
