CRC ALGORITHM
The Security Field is a 16-bit CRC of all of the previous fields including the preamble, length, and command bytes.
The remainder is initialized to all 1's (0xFFFF) and the CRC is inverted before being sent. Following is a sample C
routine that implements the algorithm using the reversed technique:
WORD crc16_lsb(BYTE *pData, WORD length)
{
BYTE i;
WORD data, crc;
crc = 0xFFFF;
if (length == 0)
return 0;
do
{
data = (WORD)0x00FF & *pData++;
crc = crc ^ data;
for (i = 8; i > 0; i--)
{
if (crc & 0x0001)
crc = (crc >> 1) ^ 0x8408;
else
crc >>= 1;
}
} while (--length);
crc = ~crc;
return (crc);
}
As an example, for a type (0x01) “Get ID” message made up of the following bytes:
AA 05 01
The following 2 byte CRC would be calculated:
D5 50
The complete message sent by the host to the SmartOne is:
AA 05 01 50 D5
