CRC Calculation In Linker

tunayan — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:40:59 GMT

Dear Community members,

I have to find a way to calculate CRC of specific memory area in linker stage.

So I have developed a CAN bootloader and i want to compare the both CRCs before programming and run-time.

I am using MPC5644A Dev kit. And My IDE is CW 10.6

I tried to follow below comments but, it is not proper with my mcu exactly.

Thanks all.

Hello Tuna

The Qorivva linker does not support this feature as DSC does.

But you can use the ‘crcgen.exe’ included in CodeWarrior v10.6.5 to generate a CRC in building.

For details, please see the section 5.1.7 in FAQ Guild:

C:\Freescale\CW MCU v10.6.4\MCU\Help\PDF\MCU_Power-Architecture_Compiler.pdf

But this solution can only get CRC in building. In run-time, user needs to add his own code to get CRC in application project.
