CRC: Cyclic Redundancy Check Driver

Overview

MCUXpresso SDK provides a peripheral driver for the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) module of MCUXpresso SDK devices.

The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) module generates 16/32-bit CRC code for error detection. The CRC module provides three variants of polynomials, a programmable seed, and other parameters required to implement a 16-bit or 32-bit CRC standard.

CRC Driver Initialization and Configuration

CRC_Init() function enables the clock for the CRC module in the LPC SYSCON block and fully (re-)configures the CRC module according to configuration structure. It also starts checksum computation by writing the seed.

The seed member of the configuration structure is the initial checksum for which new data can be added to. When starting new checksum computation, the seed should be set to the initial checksum per the CRC protocol specification. For continued checksum operation, the seed should be set to the intermediate checksum value as obtained from previous calls to CRC_GetConfig() function. After CRC_Init(), one or multiple CRC_WriteData() calls follow to update checksum with data, then CRC_Get16bitResult() or CRC_Get32bitResult() follows to read the result. CRC_Init() can be called as many times as required, which allows for runtime changes of the CRC protocol.

CRC_GetDefaultConfig() function can be used to set the module configuration structure with parameters for CRC-16/CCITT-FALSE protocol.

CRC_Deinit() function disables clock to the CRC module.

CRC_Reset() performs hardware reset of the CRC module.

CRC Write Data

The CRC_WriteData() function is used to add data to actual CRC. Internally it tries to use 32-bit reads and writes for all aligned data in the user buffer and it uses 8-bit reads and writes for all unaligned data in the user buffer. This function can update CRC with user supplied data chunks of arbitrary size, so one can update CRC byte by byte or with all bytes at once. Prior call of CRC configuration function CRC_Init() fully specifies the CRC module configuration for CRC_WriteData() call.

CRC Get Checksum

The CRC_Get16bitResult() or CRC_Get32bitResult() function is used to read the CRC module checksum register. The bit reverse and 1's complement operations are already applied to the result if previously configured. Use CRC_GetConfig() function to get the actual checksum without bit reverse and 1's complement applied so it can be used as seed when resuming calculation later.

CRC_Init() / CRC_WriteData() / CRC_Get16bitResult() to get final checksum.

CRC_Init() / CRC_WriteData() / ... / CRC_WriteData() / CRC_Get16bitResult() to get final checksum.

CRC_Init() / CRC_WriteData() / CRC_GetConfig() to get intermediate checksum to be used as seed value in future.

CRC_Init() / CRC_WriteData() / ... / CRC_WriteData() / CRC_GetConfig() to get intermediate checksum.

Comments about API usage in RTOS

If multiple RTOS tasks share the CRC module to compute checksums with different data and/or protocols, the following needs to be implemented by the user:

The triplets

CRC_Init() / CRC_WriteData() / CRC_Get16bitResult() or CRC_Get32bitResult() or CRC_GetConfig()

Should be protected by RTOS mutex to protect CRC module against concurrent accesses from different tasks.
