Selecting a specific coprocessor

Edit online

The procedure to choose a coprocessor from the multiple coprocessors available on the system.

If your system has multiple coprocessors loaded with the CCA code, you need to select the specific coprocessor to work on. If you do not make a selection, you will operate with the default coprocessor. After you make a coprocessor selection, that selection remains in effect for the current utility session or until you make a different selection within the utility session.

To select a coprocessor, click Select Adapter from the Crypto Node menu. If you do not select an adapter, the default adapter is used.
Note:
  1. When using the CLU utility, coprocessors are referred to as 0, 1, and 2. Any particular coprocessor might or might not have the CCA application installed. With the CNM utility (and other applications that use the CCA API), the coprocessors loaded with the CCA application are designated as 1, 2, and 3. These new identifiers are assigned by CCA while it scans all of the installed coprocessors for those loaded with the CCA application.
  2. When coding a CCA application, keywords CRP01, CRP02, and CRP03 are used to allocate a coprocessor. These correspond to the numbers 1, 2, and 3 that are used in the CNM utility menu.
