3.6 CRC Checksum Computation

Unlike older PIC^® devices, the Microchip toolchain runs a 32-bit CRC calculation on the entire hex file to calculate its checksum. The checksum uses the standard CRC-32 algorithm with the polynomial 0x4C11DB7 $(x^{32} + x^{26} + x^{23} + x^{22} + x^{16} + x^{12} + x^{11} + x^{10} + x^{8} + x^{7} + x^{5} + x^{4} + x^{2} + x + 1)$ .
