Can CodeWarrior for MCU 10.7 generate a CRC for the ColdFire?

[franklombardo]

I am working on a MCF52259 based project and would like to generate a checksum to be placed in the SREC.  Is there a setting to do this automatically, or do I need to use the CRCgen.exe utility?

Thanks,

Frank

Hi Frank,

to my knowledge, the CRCgen is only specific to some devices (e.g. MM256, see CRC Calculation with MCU10 | MCU on Eclipse ).

What I'm using for CRC generation is the SourceForge SRecord tool, see CRC Checksum Generation with ‘SRecord’ Tools for GNU and Eclipse | MCU on Eclipse .

I hope this helps,

Erich
