20.11.3 32-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check CRC32
The DSU unit provides support for calculating a cyclic redundancy check (CRC32) value for a memory area (including Flash and SRAM).
When the CRC32 command is issued from:
- The internal range, the CRC32 can be operated at any memory location
- The external range, the CRC32 operation is restricted; DATA, ADDR, and LENGTH values are forced (see below)
| AMOD[1:0] | Short name | External range restrictions |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | ARRAY | CRC32 is restricted to the full Flash array area (Data Flash section not included). DATA forced to 0xFFFFFFFF before calculation (no seed) |
| 1 | Data Flash | CRC32 of the whole Data Flash section. DATA forced to 0xFFFFFFFF before calculation (no seed) |
| 2-3 | Reserved |
The algorithm employed is the industry standard CRC32 algorithm using the generator polynomial 0xEDB88320 (reversed representation).
