TPS92682-Q1: TPS92682 Parity calculation

The correct way to implement the parity calculation described in the datasheet for http://www.ti.com/product/TPS92682-Q1/technicaldocuments is as follows. The uint16 assembledCmd variable below is the 682 command frame that you would like to use for the parity calculation. 

UInt16 parity = 0;
UInt16 packet = 0; // This will be what we return 
uint16 packet = assembledCmd;

while (assembledCmd > 0) // Calculate parity
{
    if ((assembledCmd & 0x0001) == 1) // Count the number of 1s in the LSb
        parity++;

    assembledCmd >>= 1; // Shift right
}

if ((parity & 0x0001) != 1) // If the LSb is a 0 (even # of 1s), we need to add the odd parity bit (add / set parity bit for an odd number of bits total, if we already have an odd number do not set parity bit)
    packet |= (1 << 8);

return (packet);
