Detailed Description

Lightweight CRC16 checksum algorithms.

This CRC16 implementation does not use pre-calculated lookup tables and is thus very lightweight (memory-wise), but as a caveat slower (about factor 8) than the version with pre-calculated lookup tables.

Additionally compared to CRC16-CCITT this is a generalized implementation. One can easily exchange generator polynomials and starting seeds.

Function Documentation

◆ ucrc16_calc_be()

uint16_t ucrc16_calc_be	(	const uint8_t *	buf,
		size_t	len,
		uint16_t	poly,
		uint16_t	seed )

Calculate CRC16 (big-endian version)

Parameters

[in]	buf	Start of memory are to checksum
[in]	len	Number of bytes in `buf` to calculate checksum for
[in]	poly	The generator polynomial for the checksum
[in]	seed	The seed (starting value) for the checksum

Returns: Checksum of the specified memory area based on seed and poly

Note: The return value is not the complement of the sum but the sum itself

◆ ucrc16_calc_le()

uint16_t ucrc16_calc_le	(	const uint8_t *	buf,
		size_t	len,
		uint16_t	poly,
		uint16_t	seed )

Calculate CRC16 (little-endian version)
