20120192044 | Method and Apparatus for Determining a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) for a Data Message - A CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) code for a data message is created by placing an initial portion of the data message on a bus of width W bits consisting of an integral number N of segments of width S such that the initial portion of the message fills n complete segments, where n≦N. A known bit pattern is placed on any segments preceding a start of the message as determined by a start indicator. A first intermediate CRC code is computed for the n segments of the initial portion by applying the W bits of the bus forming an input word to a CRC full processing circuit using a compensating constant to compensate for any known bit pattern preceding the initial portion of the message. Subsequent portions of the message width W are placed on the bus during subsequent bus cycles, and in each case a new first intermediate CRC code is computed on the W bits of the bus as input words using the current first intermediate CRC code as a seed input. A final portion of the message as determined by an end indicator is placed on the bus. The final portion has a width w bits, where w≦W, and at least completely occupies s segments, where s07-26-2012 | |
