1.8 DSU Compute CRC32
This example application demonstrates how to use the DSU Peripheral library to compute 32-bit CRC.
Description
The DSU unit provides support for calculating a 32-bit CRC value for a memory area. This example application computes the 32-bit hardware CRC value using the DSU Peripheral and validates it using a software-calculated CRC value.

Setting Up PIC32WM-BW1 Curiosity Board
- Connect the USB port on the board to the computer using a USB Type-C cable
Running the Application
- Build and program the application using its IDE.
- The LED indicates the success or
failure:
- LED is turned ON when the hardware CRC value matched with the software calculated CRC value
- LED is turned OFF when the hardware CRC value did not match with the software calculated CRC value
Refer to the following table for LED name:
