Using Code Composer Studio V5 and TI cycle-accurate Simulator to build MIRACL for Texas C6713 processor A quick "getting started" project. Use this as mirdef.h #define MR_LITTLE_ENDIAN #define MIRACL 32 #define mr_utype int #define MR_IBITS 32 #define MR_LBITS 32 #define mr_unsign32 unsigned int #define mr_unsign64 unsigned long long #define mr_dltype long long #define MR_NOASM #define MR_STRIPPED_DOWN #define MR_ALWAYS_BINARY #define MAXBASE ((mr_small)1<<(MIRACL-1)) #define MR_BITSINCHAR 8 #define MR_NOKOBLITZ #define MR_NO_SS Note that for the C6713 the long integer type is a non-standard 40-bits, so try to avoid it. Create a static library miracl.lib from these modules mirdef.h miracl.h mrcore.c mrarth0.c mrarth1.c mrarth2.c mrsmall.c mrio1.c mrio2.c mrgcd.c mrjack.c mrxgcd.c mrarth3.c mrbits.c mrrand.c mrprime.c mrcrt.c mrscrt.c mrmonty.c mrpower.c mrsroot.c mrlucas.c mrshs.c mrshs256.c mraes.c mrgcm.c mrfpe.c mrstrong.c mrcurve.c mrbrick.c mrebrick.c mrzzn2.c mrzzn2b.c mrzzn3.c mrecn2.c mrfast.c mralloc.c mrshs512.c mrsha3.c mrec2m.c mrgf2m.c Then build the pk-demo project from pk-demo.c, miracl.h, mirdef.h and miracl.lib Set the stack size to 0x2000 and the Heap size to 0x6000. Set optimization to -O2 Turn on and enable the Clock under the Run menu to count clock cycles. Build and run the project in the debugger. Now for a more ambitious project... Use this mirdef.h #define MR_LITTLE_ENDIAN #define MIRACL 32 #define mr_utype int #define MR_IBITS 32 #define MR_LBITS 32 #define mr_unsign32 unsigned int #define mr_unsign64 unsigned long long #define mr_dltype long long #define MR_NOASM #define MR_STRIPPED_DOWN #define MR_ALWAYS_BINARY #define MAXBASE ((mr_small)1<<(MIRACL-1)) #define MR_BITSINCHAR 8 #define MR_NOKOBLITZ #define MR_NO_SS #define MR_STATIC 6 #define MR_COMBA 6 #define MR_GENERALIZED_MERSENNE #define MR_SPECIAL #define MR_SIMPLE_BASE #define MR_SIMPLE_IO #define MR_GENERIC_MT Then create mrcomba.c by executing (after compiling mex.c on any PC) mex -s 6 c mrcomba and create a static miracl.lib library from these components mirdef.h miracl.h mrcore.c mrarth0.c mrarth1.c mrarth2.c mrio1.c mrjack.c mrxgcd.c mrbits.c mrmonty.c mrsroot.c mrlucas.c mrcurve.c mrebrick.c mrcomba.c Finally build the ecdhp project from ecdhp.c, miracl.h, mirdef.h and miracl.lib Set the stack size to 0x1000 and the Heap size to 0x800 (apparently I/O uses the heap - this MIRACL build does not - these numbers can be reduced experimentally). Set optimization to -O2. Turn on and enable the Clock under the Run menu to count clock cycles. Build and run the project in the debugger. The C6713 is a VLIW processor, so assembly language would be difficult, and is probably best avoided. Also it does not support unsigned 32-bit multiplication instruction, which is not ideal. One more - testecc.c - which exercises Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman, Digital Signature and Encryption using a typical MIRACL based API. MIRACL is basically hidden behind an API which simply throws around octet strings. Thread-Safe/No-Heap. Use this mirdef.h #define MR_LITTLE_ENDIAN #define MIRACL 32 #define mr_utype int #define mr_dltype long long #define mr_unsign64 unsigned long long #define MR_IBITS 32 #define MR_LBITS 32 #define mr_unsign32 unsigned int #define MR_ALWAYS_BINARY #define MR_STATIC 8 #define MR_GENERIC_MT #define MR_STRIPPED_DOWN #define MR_NOSUPPORT_COMPRESSION #define MR_SIMPLE_BASE #define MR_SIMPLE_IO #define MR_NOASM #define MAXBASE ((mr_small)1<<(MIRACL-1)) #define MR_BITSINCHAR 8 #define MR_NOKOBLITZ #define MR_NO_SS #define MR_COMBA 8 #define MR_GENERALIZED_MERSENNE #define MR_SPECIAL and create mrcomba.c via mex -s 8 c mrcomba Build miracl.lib from mirdef.h miracl.h mrcore.c mrarth0.c mrarth1.c mrarth2.c mrio1.c mrgcd.c mrxgcd.c mrarth3.c mrbits.c mrmonty.c mrcurve.c mraes.c mrshs256.c mrstrong.c mrcomba.c Build the testecc project from testecc.c, miracl.h, mirdef.h, ecdh.h, ecdh.c, octet.c, octet.h and miracl.lib Now we run into a problem. The C compiler does not like to initialise an octet structure like this char s0[32]; octet S0={0,sizeof(s0),s0}; So this must be changed throughout to char s0[32]; octet S0={0,sizeof(s0),NULL}; .. S0.val=s0; Annoying! Set the stack size to 0x2000 and the Heap size to 0x800. Set optimization to -O2. Turn on and enable the Clock under the Run menu to count clock cycles.
