reference source code generator CRC CRC reference CRC implementation pycrc

pycrc Description

CRC reference implementation in Python pycrc project provides a CRC reference implementation in Python and a source code generator for C. The used CRC variant can be chosen from a fast but space-consuming implementation to slower but smaller implementations suitable especially for embedded applications. The following functions are implemented: - generate the checksum of a string - generate the C header and source files for a client implementation. The algorithm can be chosen from fast but big implementation to slower but smaller implementations suitable especially for embedded applications.The following variants of the CRC algorithm are supported: - bit_by_bit: the basic algorithm which operates individually on every bit of the augmented message (i.e. the input data with width 0-bits attached to the end). This algorithm is the easiest one to understand, because it's a direct implementation of the basic polynomial division, but it is also the slowest among all possible variants. - bit_by_bit_fast: a variation of the simple bit_by_bit algorithm, which doesn't need the augmented message. This algorithm might be a good choice for embedded platforms, where code space is a major concern. - table_driven: the standard table driven algorithm. This algorithm works only on models with multiples of 8 as width. This is the fastest variant, because it operates on bytes as opposed to bits, and uses a look-up table of 256 elements, which might not be feasible for small embedded systems, though. Anyway, the number of elements in the look-up table can be reduced by means of the --table_idx_with command line switch. By using 4 bits (16 elements in the look-up table) a significant speed-up can be measured with respect to the bit-by-bit algorithms. Requirements: · Python What's New in This Release: · The crc-64-jones model was added. · crc-32mpeg was renamed to crc-32-mpeg.
