2 years agoReading checksum of the rpd with FPGA
Would there be a method for the FPGA to verify the checksum of a .rpd file it receives serially? I'm passing a rpd file to my FPGA to write into Flash and I want to make sure that the data is proper...

2 years agoHi, Thank you for responding, but that's not quite what I'm asking. I wanted to know if there was a checksum associated with the rpd file. I'm serially passing my FPGA the hex translation of a .rpd file from my connected processor. The FPGA will then write the received rpd file to the flash memory. I just want to know if there is a method for the FPGA to check that the file was received from the processor correctly such as the checksum.
