Abstract
Configurable CRC calculation engines and methods of performing CRC calculations are presented. The configurable CRC calculation engines calculate a CRC value for the data using an associated polynomial and remainder. The method includes receiving a polynomial, receiving a block of data to determine a CRC value for, and calculating a CRC value for the data using the polynomial. With such devices and methods, the configurable CRC calculation engines are useful in various applications and protocols.
