CRC_8 for Kinetis K60?

DangerMouse — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 03:54:34 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to implement SAE J1850 crc_8 using CRC Module in K60.

The CRC Module generates crc_16/32-bit codes but crc_8 is required.

I'm thinking this should not be a problem but am not having any success

getting expected output.

Input data: 0xFFFFFFFF

Expected output (complemented): 0x0074

Actual output (complemented): 0x30FF

I do not have alot of experience with CRC and maybe am interpreting the

calculation incorrectly or need an extra logical to perform on the CRC output.

Here is the complete code; any of you guys with experience using CRC got any suggestions?

void Main_task(uint_32 initial_data)
{

       uint_32 result=0;

       /* Enable CRC module */
       SIM_SCGC6 |= SIM_SCGC6_CRC_MASK;

       /* Configure CRC_CTRL for 16-bit and complement read */
       CRC_BASE_PTR->CTRL   =   CRC_CTRL_FXOR_MASK;
       CRC_BASE_PTR->CTRL   &=   ~CRC_CTRL_TCRC_MASK;

       /* Write SAEJ1850 polynomial to CRC_GPOLY register - SAE J1850 CRC: X8 + X4 + X3 + X2 + 1 */
       CRC_BASE_PTR->GPOLY_ACCESS16BIT.GPOLYL   =   0x11D;

       /* Configure CRC_CTRL for seed */
       CRC_BASE_PTR->CTRL   |=   (CRC_CTRL_WAS_MASK);

       /* Seed CRC with all ones */
       //CRC_BASE_PTR->ACCESS16BIT.CRCH   =   0x0000;
       CRC_BASE_PTR->ACCESS16BIT.CRCL   =   0xFFFF;

       /* Clear seed bit to start writing data values */
       CRC_BASE_PTR->CTRL   &=   (~CRC_CTRL_WAS_MASK);

       /* Write data to CRC data register */
       CRC_BASE_PTR->CRC               =   0xFFFFFFFF;       /* Data */
       CRC_BASE_PTR->ACCESS8BIT.CRCLU    =   0x00;;           /* Zeros padding */

       /* Output complement of remainder */
       printf("CRC byte:\t%X   \n", (uint_16) CRC_BASE_PTR->ACCESS16BIT.CRCL);

       /* Output remainder */
       CRC_BASE_PTR->CTRL   &=   (~CRC_CTRL_FXOR_MASK);
       printf("CRC byte:\t%X   \n", (uint_16) CRC_BASE_PTR->ACCESS16BIT.CRCL);

       //_mqx_exit(0);
}

IDK if this will help you, but I hope it does.

If you are trying to calculate CRC 8 here is a great website:

http://smbus.org/faq/crc8Applet.htm

If this is the CRC 8 you require, then here is code to make it happen... Code should be easy to implement, but if you have any questions on how to use it no problem.

/*************************************************************************

* Function Name: init_crc8

* Parameters: void

* Return: Loads a static array and sets a static variable flag

* Description: Loads a CRC8 polynomial checksum array (256 bytes). Sets the static

* value to indicate the array is loaded.

* STEP 1: Load the array x^8 + x^2 + x + 1

* STEP 2: Set the static varible that the array has been loaded

*************************************************************************/

void

init_crc8()

{

inti,j;

unsignedcharcrc;

// STEP 1if(!MadeTable)

{

for(i=0; i<256; i++)

{

crc = i;

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

crc = (crc << 1) ^ ((crc & 0x80) ? DI : 0);

crc8_table[i] = crc & 0xFF;

}

// STEP 2

MadeTable =

true;

}

// END OF init_crc8

/*************************************************************************

* Function Name: crc8

* Parameters: unsigned char *, unsigned char

* Return: Loads a static array and sets a static variable flag

* Description: For a byte array whose accumulated crc value is stored in *crc, computes

* resultant crc obtained by appending m to the byte array. Note, befor calling the crc must

* be first set to 0.

* STEP 1: Check if table loaded - if not load

* STEP 2: Calculate the present checksum via use of crc table

*************************************************************************/

void

crc8(unsignedchar*crc, unsignedcharm)

{

// STEP 1if(!MadeTable)

init_crc8();

// STEP 2

*crc = crc8_table[(*crc) ^ m];

*crc &= 0xFF;

}

// END OF crc8

Hi Hab,

Thanks for that info. I am looking at using a hardware solution however, by using the

Kinetis CRC Module. The Kinetis K60 CRC module generates 16/32-bit CRC's and that is fine

but i want to generate an 8-bit CRC. I think this should be possible although i'm not sure.

I already have a working software solution but would like the use of the hardware module if i can

get it going. The code i have posted is using the polynomial required and complementing the remainder output

after CRC checksumming. The output generated however is not the value required.

Possible reasons for problem:

An 8-bit CRC cannot be generated by the Kinetis CRC module
An 8-bit CRC can be generated but requires addtional software logic
I am interpreting the CRC calculation incorrectly
?

If anyone has any ideas or is familiar with SAEJ1850 CRC please adivse

Hello to all,

I am ising the CRC module on Kinetis K60 and it works. I am not working with MQX but "only" with Processor Expert. After the initialization I only use this siple code to check all my flash program (form 0x00000000 to 0x0003F000):

Note that i am usign the CRC8 (CRC1_GetCRC8 function) only because we compare it with anoter CRC Generation code based on 8bit calculating. With Processor Expert is also available a CRC Block calculation.

Bye,

Paolo

Hello All,

I also need the functionality of CRC 8 in K60, using MQX. I am not using Processor Expert, since I am Keil's uVision4 user.

Any suggestion for how to generate CRC_8 while using the advantages of the Kinetis CRC module?

BTW, I found the following command in MQX userguide:

_mem_sum_ip - Gets the one’s complement checksum over the block of memory.

However, it seems to be generating CRC16 only.

Thanks,

Lior.

Yes, this module just supports CRC-16/32 . No support for 8 bit calculations.

Hope that helps,

Have a great day,
Kan

CRC_8 is just a simple lookup in a 256-byte ROM array -- hard to be much simpler in execution speed than CRCresult=CRCtab[CRCold^new_data];

8-bit CRC actually is possible with a 16 or 32-bit CRC module.

You can convert the 8-bit polynomial into 16-bit by shifting 8 bits to the left, and then to get a 8-bit result do the same to the resulting 16-bit CRC. Similarly, with 32-bit you would need to shift 24 bits to the left.
