3.3.17 crc8MakeBitwise ( )

This function implements the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) algorithm to generate the PEC byte. It has been derived from the CRC16 and CRC32 functions presented in CRC Implementation With MSP430 MCUs and has been modified to output a CRC-8 error check byte [8]. It performs XOR operations in the order the bits are received using the CRC-8 polynomial: C(x) = x8 + x2 + x1 + 1. The calculation is done on all bytes including device addresses, Read/Write bits, and SBS commands. However, it does not include the START, repeated START, ACK, NACK, or STOP bits.

Function Definition

unsigned short crc8MakeBitwise(unsigned char CRC, unsigned char Poly, unsigned char *Pmsg, unsigned int Msg_Size) {...}

Inputs

Name Type Description Example Value
CRC unsigned char Initial value of the CRC byte CRC8_INIT_REM
Poly unsigned char CRC-8 polynomial 0x07 (the ‘1’ in the polynomial 0x107 is implied) CRC8_POLY
*Pmsg unsigned char Input stream for which the CRC-8 PEC byte is computed. Data stream parsed into an array of byte-size elements
Msg_Size unsigned char[] Number of bytes in the input bit stream 5 (for five bytes)

Return

Name Type Description
unsigned short unsigned short The computed CRC-8/PEC byte.

Example Function Call

To calculate the CRC-8/PEC byte with a five-element array:

unsigned char crc_msg[5]; crc_generated = crc8MakeBitwise(CRC8_INIT_REM, CRC8_POLY, crc_msg, crc_msg_size);
