CRC unit usage in STM32MP1

[NPal.2]

Hi ,

How we use the CRC unit on Linux in STM32MP1.

My target is to use the CRC engine for verification of data at application layer.

The link here mentions info about the crypto unit : Crypto API overview - stm32mpu

But in reference no module talks about CRC also OpenSSL does not support CRC.

So how it can be used?

TIA

Hi @NPal.2​ ,

In our starter package you can see that "stm32-crc32" module is probed.

You can use it in your application.

Hi @Community member​ : Thanks for response. I am trying to figure out where I can probe at sysfs interface level . Can you help figure that out been struggling for sometime now around that. TIA
