    Question:

    What polynomial, initial value, and output XOR value should I use for the software-based CRC-32 calculator to get the same result with HyperFlash’s hardware CRC-32 calculator?

     

    Answer:

    The hardware CRC-32 calculator incorporated in the HyperFlash family of devices uses the following parameters:

    Parameter

    Value

    Polynomial

    0x1EDC6F41

    Initial Value

    0x00000000

    Output XOR Value

    0x00000000

    Input Reflection

    No

    Output Reflection

    No

    The polynomial, 0x1EDC6F41, is commonly represented by:

    X32 + X28 + X27 + X26 + X25 + X23 + X22 + X20 + X19 + X18 + X14 + X13 + X11 + X10 + X9 + X8 + X6 + 1


    In addition to the CRC-32 parameters, you must take care of the data order used in the HyperFlash’s CRC-32 calculator as shown in the following screenshot.

    For example, if the Lower Order Word and the Higher Order Word are 0xF42D and 0x8CCF respectively, and the software-based CRC-32 calculator takes 8-bit byte stream, the input data bytes should be in the order of 0xF4-0x2D-0x8C-0xCF.

    The following C source code and table provides a simple software CRC-32 calculator example and some results for reference.

    uint32 Calculate_CRC32(const uint8 *byte_data, uint32 byte_count)

    {

           uint32 pos, i;

           uint32 crc = 0; /* Initial Value */

     

           for (pos = 0; pos < byte_count; pos++)

           {

                  crc ^= (uint32)(byte_data[pos] << 24);

     

                  for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)

                  {

                         if ((crc & 0x80000000) != 0)

                               crc = (uint32)((crc << 1) ^ 0x1EDC6F41); /* Polynomial */

                         else

                               crc <<= 1;

                  }

           }

     

           return crc;

    }

     

    void Test_CRC32(void)

    {

           uint16 sample_data[4] = {0xF42D, 0x8CCF, 0xF646, 0x3129};

           uint32 crc;

     

           /* Swap byte order for Little Endian systems */

           uint32 i;

           for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)

           {

                  sample_data[i] = ((sample_data[i] >> 8) & 0xFF) | ((sample_data[i] & 0xFF) << 8);

           }

     

           crc = Calculate_CRC32((uint8 *)sample_data, 8);

     

           printf("CRC-32: %08X\n", crc);

    }
