CRC polynomial:

x32 + x26 + x23 + x22 + x16 + x12 + x11 + x10 + x8 + x7 + x5 + x4 + x2 + x +1

The following table shows and example CRC configuration with the polynomial size of 16. The value of CRCPOLY shows the 12th bit and the 5th bit set to ‘1’, as required by the equation. The 0th bit required by the equation is always XOR-ed.
