Ben Eater builds breadboard hardware to compute and verify cyclic redundancy checks.

CRC (cyclic redundancy check) involves some intimidating math. But it turns out that it can all be done with some fairly simple hardware. In this video, I build the hardware to compute and verify CRCs.

Calculating CRC32 on hardware with Verilog Hi guys, I'm trying to calculate CRC32 to transmit UDP packets on the local network.I watched the example of CRC16-XMODEM from Ben Eater, [video and it actually works very well on my code and on the calculation tool https://www.lddgo.net/en/encrypt/crc However, with CRC32, I received the wrong result! The bellow is my idea, I translated the string "Hello!" from ASC-II to binary, then I received 48 bits of data. After that, I appended 32 bits 32'hFF\_FF\_FF\_FF to this data then shifted them through a 32 bits register with XOR operations at the positions of the polynomial: x32+x26+x23+x22+x16+x12+x11+x10+x8+x7+x5+x4+x2+x+1 or 04C11DB7 in hex.…

Confused Calculating CRC-32 I'm trying to generate Ethernet packets so I need to find the CRC-32 for the created packets. I understand that generally CRC's use polynomial division to compute the remainder digest which is appended to the packet. I went through a similar process to this post where I followed Ben Eaters example of CRC16-XMODEM and got the correct answer for his example before moving onto CRC-32 where I ran into trouble. Ben Eater's Implementation of CRC16-XMODEM Just extrapolating the process used in the video for CRC-32's polynomial (0x04C11DB7) will not give you the correct result because of the required initialization vector, output bit flipping, and bit/byte/word ref…

On “What is real life example of channel noise in information theory?”

You might find Ben Eater's video on how to implement hardware error detection helpful. It includes some examples of how noise can be introduced into a signal.
