What is CRC in C?
What is CRC in C? A cyclic redundancy code (CRC) is a powerful type of checksum that is able to detect corruption of data that is stored in and/or transmitted between embedded systems. However, sometimes you must compute a CRC in software, for example in a C or C++ program that will run on a microcontroller. What type of code is CRC? CRC codes are a type of cyclic code. An end-around shift of a cyclic code word produces another valid code word. Like the Hamming codes discussed so far in this chapter, CRC codes are also linear block codes....
