I want to calculate crc32 for the ethernet packet and check if I had received correct data. I want to implement crc as a System Verilog function. I will use online crc value generator to get the code in verilog to calculate crc32 with data width 8 bits. I have the following questions:
In case, of Ethernet 802.3 standard, I believe crc is calculated for data, where data = {destination address, source address, length and payload}. Correct me, if I am missing something in the data.
Theoretically, data is appended with (polynomial_length-1) number of zeros, do I have to append similarly before sending the data message as input to the crc32 function?
Once crc is calculated, now I have to know if my data received is correct. So, do I have to pass the data along with calculated crc value as input to the crc32 function again, to check if I get zeros as function output, so as to ensure I have received correct data, is this correct? If not tell me how to check if I had received correct data. Thanks in advance.
Below is the SV version of crc32 function, which I intend to use.
function nextCRC32_D8(byte unsigned data[]);
bit [7:0] d;
bit [31:0] newcrc, crc,c;
int i;
crc=0;
for (i=0; i<data.size(); i++) begin
