Regarding the checksum - this is generated based on the code you wrote, the target device etc. thus it is identical if you recompile w/o changes to the code etc. but it will change any time you change your code. Additionally to this autogenerated checksum you can also assign a usercode that does not change automatically but can e.g. be used for manual revsion identifier etc.
