CRC Check

Structure BSL Core Command

BSL CommandProtectedCMDALAMAHDataBSL Core Response
CRC CheckYes0x16(AL)(AM)(AH)Length (low byte), Length (high byte)Yes

Description

The MSP430 performs a 16-bit CRC check using the CCITT standard. The address given is the first byte of the CRC check. Two bytes are used for the length. See the CRC chapter of each Family User's Guide (see Section 1.2) for more details on the CRC hardware calculation that is used.

Protection

This command is password protected and fails if the password has not been sent.

Command

0x16

Command Address

Address to begin the CRC check.

Command Data

The 16-bit length of the CRC check. D1 is the low byte of the length, and D2 is the high byte of the length.

Command Returns

BSL acknowledgment and a BSL core response with the CRC value. See Section 4.1.4 for more information on BSL core responses.

Example for UART PI

Perform a CRC check from address 0x4400 to 0x4800 (size of 1024):

0x800x060x000x160x000x440x000x000x040x9C0x7D

BSL response where 0x55 is the low byte of the calculated checksum and 0xAA is the high byte of the calculated checksum:
