1.9 DSU Compute CRC32

This example application demonstrates how to use the DSU Peripheral library to compute 32-bit Cyclic Redundancy Checksum (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 SAM L10 Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit

  • Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable

Running the Application

  1. Build and Program the application using its IDE
  2. 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
