7 Generate a table for a byte-wise 32-bit CRC calculation on the polynomial:
8 x^32+x^26+x^23+x^22+x^16+x^12+x^11+x^10+x^8+x^7+x^5+x^4+x^2+x+1.
10 Polynomials over GF(2) are represented in binary, one bit per coefficient,
11 with the lowest powers in the most significant bit. Then adding polynomials
12 is just exclusive-or, and multiplying a polynomial by x is a right shift by
13 one. If we call the above polynomial p, and represent a byte as the
14 polynomial q, also with the lowest power in the most significant bit (so the
15 byte 0xb1 is the polynomial x^7+x^3+x+1), then the CRC is (q*x^32) mod p,
16 where a mod b means the remainder after dividing a by b.
18 This calculation is done using the shift-register method of multiplying and
19 taking the remainder. The register is initialized to zero, and for each
20 incoming bit, x^32 is added mod p to the register if the bit is a one (where
21 x^32 mod p is p+x^32 = x^26+...+1), and the register is multiplied mod p by
22 x (which is shifting right by one and adding x^32 mod p if the bit shifted
23 out is a one). We start with the highest power (least significant bit) of
24 q and repeat for all eight bits of q.
26 The table is simply the CRC of all possible eight bit values. This is all
27 the information needed to generate CRC's on data a byte at a time for all
28 combinations of CRC register values and incoming bytes. The table is
29 written to stdout as 256 long hexadecimal values in C language format.
