MCF8316A: EEPROM checksum for integrity verification?

Daniel Meier
Prodigy 90 points
Part Number: MCF8316A

Is there a register entry that contains a checksum of the EEPROM that's currently programmed on the device?
We'd like to verify the EEPROM integrity on bootup and compare it to a configuration stored on the µC, and having a checksum would make our life easier.

    Hi Daniel,

    The MCF8316A does not have a checksum for what is currently stored within the EEPROM.

    To validate the EEPROM you will have to read back every register and compare with the data stored in the MCU. The device does support I2C read and write CRC checksums which can be used when reading the EEPROM registers of the device.

    Regards,
