About the Sumcheck
When the download was completed, the message bar displayed
Data transfer complete. Data sum = xxxxxxxx (8-bit)
This message tells you two things: first, it tells you that the data transfer
completed successfully, and second, it tells you what the sumcheck of the
data transferred is. The sumcheck is shown above as xxxxxxxx.
The sumcheck for memory devices is an eight-digit hexadecimal
summation of the data downloaded. If you change one byte of
information in the data file, the sumcheck will also change. The sumcheck
is a good method of verifying that the data you downloaded matches the
data on your host.
Later, when you program this data into a device, UniSite-xpi will generate
another sumcheck. If the two are the same, then the data programmed is
the same as the data downloaded. If the two sumchecks are different,
then the data programmed is not the same as the data downloaded.
