CRC8 on uneven number of bits - initial 0xff - crc

on nRF24, CRC-1 byte use polynome x^8+x^2+x^1+1 with initial 0xff.
This has to be done on an eneven number of bits. How is that calculated ? I cannot get same result. For instance : in binary
on : 000000000000000100010000000000000100000100000100000111111
nRF24 will give a CRC8 of : 01110110 (0xbb)
Any idea how it is calculated ?

This produces 0x76 from the data:
#include <stdio.h>
unsigned crc8bit(unsigned crc, unsigned bit)
{
crc ^= bit << 7;
return (crc & 0x80 ? (crc << 1) ^ 7 : crc << 1) & 0xff;
}
int main(void)
{
unsigned n, crc;
unsigned char data[] = "000000000000000100010000000000000100000100000100000111111";
crc = 0xff;
for (n = 0; n < sizeof(data) - 1; n++)
crc = crc8bit(crc, data[n] & 1);
printf("crc = %02x\n", crc);
return 0;
}

How to generate CRC7 based on lookup table?

I am trying to implement CRC-7/MMC checksum with pregenerated lookup table. This is the code so far:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdint>
using namespace std;
/* CRC-7/MMC
Poly: 0x09
Xorout: NO
Init: 0x00
Check value: 0x75 for "123456789"
*/
uint16_t CRC7_table[256];
void generate_crc7_table() {
uint16_t byte;
for (uint16_t i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
byte = i;
for (uint16_t bit = 0; bit < 8; bit++) {
if (byte & 1) { //if lsb is 1
byte >>= 1;
byte ^= 0x09;
}
else
byte >>= 1;
}
CRC7_table[i] = byte >> 1; //to drop off MSB
}
}
uint16_t crc7(string input) {
uint16_t reg = 0;
uint16_t b;
for (uint16_t i = 0; i < input.length(); i++) {
b = (input[i] ^ reg) & 0xFF;
reg = (reg >> 1) ^ CRC7_table[b];
}
return reg;
}
int main()
{
generate_crc7_table();
cout << hex << crc7("123456789") << endl;
return 0;
}
But it gives wrong output. I should get 0x75 but I get 0x07. I used this website to checkout the outputs.
Any suggestion or idea is highly appreciated. Thanks.
Note that the CRC definition you pointed to includes refin=false refout=false. That CRC is not reflected, so it is computed with left shifts, not right shifts.
Given that, and the fact that the CRC is less than eight bits in length, you will also want to keep the seven bits at the top of the byte being used for calculation, as opposed to the bottom. I.e. bits 1 to 7, as opposed to bits 0 to 6. The polynomial is then also shifted up by one for the table calculation.
This allows the table-driven, byte-wise calculation to simply exclusive-or each message byte into the byte being used for the calculations. If you want to return the CRC in the low seven bits, you can shift it down one at the end.
Example (0x12 is 0x09 shifted up one):
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
uint8_t table[256];
void make_table() {
uint8_t octet = 0;
do {
uint8_t crc = octet;
for (int k = 0; k < 8; k++)
crc = crc & 0x80 ? (crc << 1) ^ 0x12 : crc << 1;
table[octet++] = crc;
} while (octet);
}
uint8_t crc7(std::string const& input) {
uint8_t crc = 0;
for (auto octet : input)
crc = table[crc ^ octet];
return crc >> 1;
}
int main() {
make_table();
std::cout << std::hex << (unsigned)crc7("123456789") << '\n';
}
crcany will generate CRC code for you, given the definition. Since your CRC-7/MMC is in Greg's catalogue, crcany will generate that code out of the box, along with the other 100+ CRCs defined there. The generated code includes bit-wise, byte-wise, and word-wise calculations.

How CRC16 using bytes data is woking ? (for CAN bus implementation)

I have some trouble implementing a CRC16 for can message, I followed the instructions given by this website https://barrgroup.com/embedded-systems/how-to/crc-calculation-c-code and http://www.sunshine2k.de/articles/coding/crc/understanding_crc.html#ch5, plus other implention I have seen in here ( for example Function to Calculate a CRC16 Checksum).
I don't understand how it is processed.
My message here is in form of bytes, for example char message[4] = {0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78}. When I go through the first loop I just take the first byte, shift it by 8 and calculate the remainder with a POLYNOME of 16 bits.
That means we have 0x1200 and we go through the second loop with it, which mean I do a XOR with the POLYNOME that I store in the remainder but I don't quite understand why this works, especially when I look at this code, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th bytesof my message which should get XORed by the 8 first bits of the POLYNOME at some points aren't going through it at all.
According to the wikipedia explanation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check the polynome goes through the whole message at once and not byte by byte.
I don't know how that translates to doing the CRC of 0x12345678 byte by byte.
uint16_t Compute_CRC16_Simple(char* message, int nbOfBytes)
{
uint16_t POLYNOME = 0xC599;
uint16_t remainder = 0;
for (int byte = 0;byte < nbOfBytes; byte++)
{
remainder ^= (message[byte] << 8);
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
if (remainder & 0x8000)
{
remainder = (remainder << 1) ^ POLYNOME ;
}
else
{
remainder <<= 1;
}
}
}
return remainder;
}
I don't understand how it is processed.
Maybe it will help to describe the bit by bit operations for 8 bits of data:
crc[bit15] ^= data[bit7]
if(crc[bit15] == 1) crc = (crc << 1) ^ poly
else crc = crc << 1
crc[bit15] ^= data[bit6]
if(crc[bit15] == 1) crc = (crc << 1) ^ poly
else crc = crc << 1
...
crc[bit15] ^= data[bit0]
if(crc[bit15] == 1) crc = (crc << 1) ^ poly
else crc = crc << 1
Note that the if statement only depends on the bit value in crc[bit15], so the fixed part of the XOR with data could be done in one step:
crc[bit15 .. bit8] ^= data[bit7 .. bit0]
if(crc[bit15] == 1) crc = (crc << 1) ^ poly
else crc = crc << 1
if(crc[bit15] == 1) crc = (crc << 1) ^ poly
else crc = crc << 1
...
if(crc[bit15] == 1) crc = (crc << 1) ^ poly
else crc = crc << 1
The cycling of the CRC 8 times using those if ... then (shift + xor poly) else (just shift) could be precomputed for all 256 possible values in crc[bit15 .. bit8], and stored in a table for table lookup to cycle the CRC 8 times.

How to modify crc-32 to crc-32/mpeg-2

I am trying to code a function to match CRC 32 output from a device to the actual CRC-32 sum that I calculate. Following is my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#define CRC32_POLYNOMIAL 0xEDB88320
using namespace std;
unsigned int crc32b(unsigned char *message,size_t l)
{
int i, j;
unsigned int byte, crc, mask;
i = 0;
crc = 0xFFFFFFFF;
while (i<l) {
byte = message[i]; // Get next byte.
crc = crc ^ byte;
for (j = 7; j >= 0; j--) { // Do eight times.
mask = -(crc & 1);
crc = (crc >> 1) ^ (0xEDB88320 & mask);
}
i = i + 1;
}
return ~crc;
}
int main()
{
unsigned char Buff[] = {0x91,0xFF,0xFC,0xEA,0xFF,0xFF,0x70,0xFF,0xFD,0x87,0x00,0xFF,0xF9,0x1B,0xFF,0xF3,0x4E,0x00,0xFB,0x00,0x00,0x02,0x01,0xFB};
unsigned long CRC = crc32b((unsigned char *)Buff,24);
cout << hex << CRC <<endl;
getchar();
return 0;
}
This gives me the 32 bit CRC output of following payload:
91FFFCEAFFFF70FFFD8700FFF91BFFF34E00FB00000201FB
as 1980AC80. However the device is giving the checksum as 8059143D.
Upon further inspection using online CRC calculators I found that the device is sending out CRC-32/MPEG-2 checksum value. (Can be verified here). I have browsed multiple sites but did not find any straight forward implementation of CRC32/MPEG2 which I can integrate in my code. Can anyone help?
As noted in the crcalc web page, crc32/mpeg2 uses a left shifting (not reflected) CRC along with the CRC polynomial 0x104C11DB7 and initial CRC value of 0xFFFFFFFF, and not post complemented:
unsigned int crc32b(unsigned char *message, size_t l)
{
size_t i, j;
unsigned int crc, msb;
crc = 0xFFFFFFFF;
for(i = 0; i < l; i++) {
// xor next byte to upper bits of crc
crc ^= (((unsigned int)message[i])<<24);
for (j = 0; j < 8; j++) { // Do eight times.
msb = crc>>31;
crc <<= 1;
crc ^= (0 - msb) & 0x04C11DB7;
}
}
return crc; // don't complement crc on output
}

CRC midstream instead of at the end

Normally one would add a CRC to the end of the data stream. The CRC check would include the CRC itself and return 0 if the CRC is correct.
I need to add a CRC to verify my embedded code. It needs to be checked in place, but the top word in memory space is for an interrupt vector. Is it possible to place a key value midstream such that the CRC check returns 0 for the whole code? (or is this unsolvable?)
It's definitely possible. You can run a CRC backwards, which would be fast and easy. Below is example code.
In fact, you can give me the locations of bits scattered wherever in the stream, and if you give me enough of them I can tell you what to set them to to get a zero CRC at the end, or any other CRC value for that matter. My spoof code solves the linear equations to come up with that answer.
However I would wonder why you'd want to do any of that. Why not just know where the CRC is stored and compute the CRC for everything but that, and then check the result against the stored CRC?

// the middle of a sequence, where the CRC is generated such that the CRC of

Get signed integer from 2 16-bit signed bytes?

So this sensor I have returns a signed value between -500-500 by returning two (high and low) signed bytes. How can I use these to figure out what the actual value is? I know I need to do 2's complement, but I'm not sure how. This is what I have now -
real_velocity = temp.values[0];
if(temp.values[1] != -1)
real_velocity += temp.values[1];
//if high byte > 1, negative number - take 2's compliment
if(temp.values[1] > 1) {
real_velocity = ~real_velocity;
real_velocity += 1;
}
But it just returns the negative value of what would be a positive. So for instance, -200 returns bytes 255 (high) and 56(low). Added these are 311. But when I run the above code it tells me -311. Thank you for any help.
-200 in hex is 0xFF38,
you're getting two bytes 0xFF and 0x38,
converting these back to decimal you might recognise them
0xFF = 255,
0x38 = 56
your sensor is not returning 2 signed bytes but a simply the high and low byte of a signed 16 bit number.
so your result is
value = (highbyte << 8) + lowbyte
value being a 16 bit signed variable.
Based on the example you gave, it appears that the value is already 2's complement. You just need to shift the high byte left 8 bits and OR the values together.
real_velocity = (short) (temp.values[0] | (temp.values[1] << 8));
You can shift the bits and mask the values.
int main()
{
char data[2];
data[0] = 0xFF; //high
data[1] = 56; //low
int value = 0;
if (data[0] & 0x80) //sign
value = 0xFFFF8000;
value |= ((data[0] & 0x7F) << 8) | data[1];
std::cout<<std::hex<<value<<std::endl;
std::cout<<std::dec<<value<<std::endl;
std::cin.get();
}
Output:
ffffff38
-200
real_velocity = temp.values[0];
real_velocity = real_velocity << 8;
real_velocity |= temp.values[1];
// And, assuming 32-bit integers
real_velocity <<= 16;
real_velocity >>= 16;
For 8-bit bytes, first just convert to unsigned:
typedef unsigned char Byte;
unsigned const u = (Byte( temp.values[1] ) << 8) | Byte( temp.values[0] );
Then if that is greater than the upper range for 16-bit two's complement, subtract 216:
int const i = int(u >= (1u << 15)? u - (1u << 16) : u);
You could do tricks at the bit level, but I don't think there's any point in that.
The above assuming that CHAR_BIT = 8, that unsigned is more than 16 bits, and that the machine and desired result is two's complement.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
typedef unsigned char Byte;
struct { char values[2]; } const temp = { 56, 255 };
unsigned const u = (Byte( temp.values[1] ) << 8) | Byte( temp.values[0] );
int const i = int(u >= (1u << 15)? u - (1u << 16) : u);
cout << i << endl;
}
