Checksum Calculation - FiveCo FMod-IPAXESCTRL User Manual

Checksum calculation

This checksum is the same as the IP checksum.
Definition: sum of 1's complement of all 16 bits words of whole message
(FiveCo packet) except checksum bytes.
Note: all values are unsigned!
Sequence:
1. Clear accumulator
Loop
x. Only if last word is not made of two bytes, the data byte is the upper byte (big endian).
2. Compute 1's complement of each 16bits word, result is 16bits.
3. Convert last result from 16 bits to 32 bits, result is 32bits: 0x0000+last result.
4. Add last result to the 32 bits accumulator.
Try the Loop
5. Convert accumulator in two 16bits words.
6. Add those two 16bits words, result is 16bits word.
7. If an overflow occurs with the last addition (Carry), add 1 to the last result.
8. Last result is the final result.
Example (in hexadecimal):
!0x0021 (0XFFDE)  0x0000FFDE (Read)
+!0x1234 (0xEDCB)  0x0001EDA9 (TransID)
+!0x0003 (0xFFFC)  0x0002EDA5 (3 reg to read)
+!0x0A10 (0XF5EF)  0x0003E394 (reg 0A,10,02)
+!0x02(00)(0XFDFF)  0x0004E193
Note that in this case, a last 00 is implicitly used. (02  02 00).
0x0004 + 0xE193 = 0xE197, (carry=0)
0xE197 + carry
Checksum = 0xE197
= 0xE197
