Hex2bin CRC and HAL STM32 CRC are not the same

[ELitv.2]

Hi

I tried to generate hex2bin crc32 and then crc32 on stm32 (on words, the rest CubeMX configurations were set to default) , but they are not the same. On hex2bin i can configure big or little endianness, but the result doesn't change and i don't know the default.

Did anyone here try to conduct the same experiment and can share the insights or findings?

Thanks!​

"CRC32" just tells you that the CRC has 32 bits.

You also need to have the same generator polynomial, initial conditions, etc for the results to match.

Doesn't it also tell the data taken in account is 32 bit?

Will look at your link.

Thank you for your help!​

No - a CRC could be applied to any block of data.
