Features

The implementation calculated the CRC number of specified data. You are able to choose one of the following checks:

Examples

Type Input Hash
CRC-8 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 0xc1
CRC-10 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 0x0f8
CRC-12 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 0x515
CRC-16 The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 0x60ae
CRC-CCITT The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 0xf0c8

Alternative Implementation

CRC-8

void crc8(uint8_t n, uint8_t & crc)
{
  // polynom: x^8 + x^5 + x^4 + 1
  uint8_t c = crc;
  for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(n); ++i) {
    c = ((c ^ n) & 1)
      ? (c >> 1) ^ 0x8c
      : (c >> 1);
    n >>= 1;
  }
  crc = c;
}
