4.23.1 static __inline__ uint16_t _crc16_update

static __inline__ uint16_t _crc16_update(uint16_t __crc, uint8_t __data)

Optimized CRC-16 calculation.

Polynomial: x^16 + x^15 + x^2 + 1 (0xa001) Initial value: 0xffff

This CRC is normally used in disk-drive controllers.

The following is the equivalent functionality written in C.

    uint16_t
    crc16_update(uint16_t crc, uint8_t a)
    {
    int i;

    crc ^= a;
    for (i = 0; i < 8; ++i)
    {
        if (crc & 1)
        crc = (crc >> 1) ^ 0xA001;
        else
        crc = (crc >> 1);
    }

    return crc;
    }
