![]() ![]() Lets take an example string and calculate a one byte checksum. It is certainly easier to calculate a checksum, but checksums do not find all errors. One might think, that using a checksum can replace proper CRC calculations. The answer is simple, they are powerful, detect many types of errors and are extremely fast to calculate especially when dedicated hardware chips are used. So let’s see why they are so widely used. Modern computer world cannot do without these CRC calculation. Also each data block on your hard-disk has a CRC value attached to it. All packets sent over a network connection are checked with a CRC. Nowadays CRC calculations are used in all types of communications. The CRC calculation or cyclic redundancy check was the result of this. To overcome this problem people have searched for mathematical sound mechanisms to detect multiple false bits. This simple detection mechanism works if an odd number of bits in a byte changes, but an even number of false bits in one byte will not be detected by the parity check. For serial data they came up with the solution to attach a parity bit to each sent byte. Since the beginning of computer science, people have been thinking of ways to deal with this type of problem. Thanks to David Goodman for pointing the issue to me.Whenever digital data is stored or interfaced, data corruption might occur. the printed result was 0xC6FF2F8 instead of the correct one 0xC6FF02F8. Thanks to Alan Ott Goodman for pointing the issue to me.ĩ: Fixed a bug: Sometimes a CRC32 result value was printed with only seven digits! A zero was then missing, e.g. The fix now shall ignore all number and kinds of whitespace characters and take only the byte values into account. E.g the CRC value of "0x31 0x32" and "0x31 0x32" (note the additional space character) were not the same. Thanks to Matthew Reed for pointing the issue to me.ĩ: Fixed a bug: When the input data was given as bytes, then the number of whitespaces had an influence on the result. Please note the added description above about input data. This could have resulted in the fact that the calculated CRC value of 0x01 differs to e.g. If a single string has more than eight digits, only the first eight digits are used.Ģ: Added the support for 64bit CRC calculation and for binary string input.ġ: Added the option to print the CRC lookup table 'reversed'.ħ: Fixed a bug: A hexadecimal value with more than two digits after the "0x" is not correctly parsed. If a single string has less than eight digits, zeros are padded as prefix, so 100 is actually interpreted as 00000100. If the input data is defined as 'binary string', then the byte values shall be given as eight-digit binary strings, separated by a white space.Note that this means that "01" and "0001" are then NOT the same. So instead of "0x31 0x32", it's also possible to specify "3132". If no whitespace is detected, the "0x" prefix must be omitted and always two digits are taken for a character. If the input data is defined as 'bytes', then the byte values shall be given in hexadecimal notation beginning with a "0x" and separated by a white space, e.g "0x31 0x32".This means that the CRC of input string "12" and byte input 0x31 0x32 is the same. the string "12" is converted to its ASCII respresentation. If the input data is defined as 'string', then each character (including whitespaces) is converted to its (byte) value and this byte stream is the input for the calculation.Please refer to my article Understanding and implementing CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) calculation for an detailed discussion of CRC calculation. Furthermore, the definition of own CRC instances is supported by specifying:Īlso the generation of CRC lookup tables is supported. Several common CRC instance predefined and available from a list.
