Lena Boeckmann

Worked on stabilizing DMA pathways for the CC310 hardware module within the zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m repository, focusing on embedded systems and driver development using C. Addressed a synchronization issue by replacing the generic SYM_DMA_COMPLETED wait with direction-specific interrupts, ensuring correct signaling for symmetric DMA operations even when SYM_DMA_COMPLETED was unavailable. This approach reduced race conditions and improved reliability for DMA-heavy workloads in trusted firmware. The solution involved careful hardware interaction, specifically distinguishing between DOUT_TO_MEM_INT and MEM_TO_DIN_INT events, and was fully traceable to a dedicated commit, reflecting a targeted and in-depth bug fix over the month.

Monthly summary for 2024-10 focused on stabilizing DMA pathways for CC310 in zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-m. The key deliverable this month is a bug fix for CC310 DMA interrupt synchronization. Replaced the generic SYM_DMA_COMPLETED wait with direction-specific waits (DOUT_TO_MEM_INT or MEM_TO_DIN_INT) to cover cases where SYM_DMA_COMPLETED is unavailable, ensuring correct signaling for symmetric DMA operations and preventing stalls. This change reduces race conditions and improves overall reliability of DMA-heavy workloads in trusted firmware. The work is fully traceable to the commit 6eb29c3562b6c0670bade3c03e76f3706542a3f8 with the message: "cc3xx: Wait for existing DMA interrupts for symmetric ops on CC310".
