Checksum calculation of hex file Dear All Forum members, I have implemented Bootloader for PIC32MX device. For error handling I have checked checksum of each row of Hex row received from PC software.

Sector Editor, Base Converter and Hex Calculator for. The Intel HEX file is an ASCII text file. Create a CRC-32 checksum of an uploaded file with this. On-line CRC calculation. Free CRC routines downloadable. Dubai Government Excellence Program English here. Javascript sourced, No limits, Covers CRC-16, 32, CCITT, DNP and Sick routines.

But I want to calculate Checksum of ' complete hexfile ' similar to MPLABX IDE. Following is the plan: PC based software will calculate checksum & display on screen so that user can crosscheck with correct checksum before starting Bootloader application OR User can enter corrected checksum on UI & software will automatically compare this with calculated checksum. If anyone knows method for calculating checksum of hexfile please reply.

Thanks, Gaurav. Thanks NKurzman & GlennP for your valuable suggestions.

Actually I want method to calculate Checksum which is used by MPLABX IDE / IPE while we build our project. Please refer attached screenshot for more details. Because when we release any code to production, checksum displayed my MPLABX IDE is the only key for them to ensure that hexfile is not corrupt. Same is applicable when we update firmware on field using serial / USB bootloader. So I want to implement method to calculate checksum exactly same as that of displayed by MPLABX IDE / IPE while we build our project in my PC based Bootloader software. Thnaks, Gaurav.

Patni.gaurav So I want to implement method to calculate checksum exactly same as that of displayed by MPLABX IDE / IPE while we build our project in my PC based Bootloader software. The MPLABX IDE/IPE style checksum is useful for production to verify hex file integrity to some degree. However, as people have already pointed out, this kind of checksum, just like using a simple checksum for communication, is weak.

Your PC based bootloading software should only be concerned with the application checksum, which you can calculate using MPLABX's hexmate tool and inject the checksum directly into the application hex file at a known location. It is your bootloader's job to verify the application checksum is valid before even letting the application run. In this case, a simple checksum is as good as any other error detection algorithm. This is because Flash programming requires a page erase and row write.

If there is a failure on a page erase or a row write, a simple checksum will detect the failure.
