CRC Generator is a command-line application that generates Verilog or VHDL code for CRC of any data width between 1 and 1024 and polynomial width between 1 and 1024. The code is written in C and is cross-platform compatible.
To build on linux using gcc:
g++ -o crc_gen crc_gen.cppInvoke the tool via command line:
./crc_gen [language] [data_width] [poly_width] [poly_string]Options:
-
language:verilogorvhdl -
data_width: data bus width${1..1024}$ -
poly_width: polynomial width${1..1024}$ -
poly_string: a string that describes CRC polynomial, eg: Ethernet MAC FCS uses poly04C11DB7
Examples:
The string representation (0x05, 0x8005) doesn’t include highest degree coefficient in polynomial representation (
Printing usage:
./crc_gen
usage:
crc-gen language data_width poly_width poly_string
parameters:
language : verilog or vhdl
data_width : data bus width {1..1024}
poly_width : polynomial width {1..1024}
poly_string : polynomial string in hex
example: usb crc5 = x^5+x^2+1
crc-gen verilog 8 5 05
Generation in action:
./crc_gen verilog 2 4 3

In addition to being a command line tool, this tool also used to be available interactively though the now defuncts OutputLogic website.
