Trouble getting correct output from hardware CRC module (TM4C1294KCPDT)

_BT_

Hello,

I'm trying to use hardware CRC module to accelerate checksum computation but unfortunately I'm not getting the same results as when I use software implementation of CRC module from TivaWare library. The CRC alghoritm is CRC16-IBM (polynomial 0x8005).

Example code:

	CRCConfigSet(CCM0_BASE, CRC_CFG_INIT_0 | CRC_CFG_SIZE_8BIT | CRC_CFG_TYPE_P8005);

        uint8_t test_data[4] = {0xFA, 0xFB, 0xFC, 0xFD};

        uint32_t hw_crc = CRCDataProcess(CCM0_BASE, test_data, 4, 0); //hw_crc == 0x0000CE75
        uint32_t sw_crc = Crc16(0, test_data, 4); //sw_crc == 0x0000A8C1

After call to CRCDataProcess registers looks like this:

I've also tried to omit calling CRCDataProcess and write data directly to registers to rule out any possible bugs, but result is identical:

       
uint8_t test_data[4] = {0xFA, 0xFB, 0xFC, 0xFD};
CRCConfigSet(CCM0_BASE, CRC_CFG_INIT_0 | CRC_CFG_SIZE_8BIT | CRC_CFG_TYPE_P8005);
		int i;
		for(i = 0; i < 4; i++)
		{
			HWREG(CCM0_BASE + 0x414) = test_data[i];
		}
		uint32_t hw_crc = HWREG(CCM0_BASE + 0x410);

Is there something wrong with my CRCConfigSet call?

Hello _BT_

We got a similar post in the past (albeit for CRC32)

e2e.ti.com/.../2017170

Can you please check the trail of posts to see if the same applies to your case (in terms of the debug steps)

Well, I've tried to use:
CRCConfigSet(CCM0_BASE, CRC_CFG_INIT_1 | CRC_CFG_SIZE_8BIT | CRC_CFG_TYPE_P8005);
CRCConfigSet(CCM0_BASE, CRC_CFG_INIT_1 | CRC_CFG_SIZE_32BIT | CRC_CFG_TYPE_P8005);
CRCConfigSet(CCM0_BASE, CRC_CFG_INIT_0 | CRC_CFG_SIZE_32BIT | CRC_CFG_TYPE_P8005);
But with no luck.
I'm not sure if I should try using reverse/inverse and endianess options since I'm using simple byte array, not ascii string like in the post you've linked.

Hello _BT_,

Can you please attach you CCS project and the expected results on the test pattern, which website you used for the calculating the same, so that it would be much easier for me to check the same on a crypto connected launchpad.
