Help with checksums

iondream · Dec 2, 2012

Hello All!
I am pretty new to electronics, and am trying to figure out an issue. I have been capturing and decoding fsk being sent to a device (it is being received by a MT88E43B chip), and am trying to figure out the checksum format used so I can generate it. Is it some sort of two's compliment sum? Any help would be appreciated! some examples are

80 1C 01 08 31 31 31 36 31 32 34 32 6D 00 70 00 5B 01 00 63 05 20 00 00 00 03 49 02 33 33 54

and

more details

I have noticed that they all seem to add up to 1280 dec, regardless of the contents.

the below one adds up to 512 regardless... I wonder is the sum related to the length of the string...

And that might be your answer, the checksum is 1280 - Measured_Value and thus always adds up to 1280...

Seems so

I think you might be right. I wonder if it has a name.
will get back with the test results...

no such luck...

I tried this, and it was not recognized
80 1C 01 08 31 32 32 32 30 26 30 30 6D 00 70 00 5B 01 00 63 05 20 00 00 00 03 49 02 33 33 69

but then I tried the range from 50 to 5F for the final value, and this worked.

80 1C 01 08 31 32 32 32 30 26 30 30 6D 00 70 00 5B 01 00 63 05 20 00 00 00 03 49 02 33 33 59

so I guess it just rolls over...?

this new valid command adds up to 1264. the sum without the end byte is 1175 .

gorgon · Dec 2, 2012

I don't think 1280 has much to do with it. The checksum adds up to an 8bit rest of 00. Since the checksum is only 1 byte you can't have a total of more than one byte.

I would think that the start value is 00, and then all header and data bytes is subtracted from that and the rest is the checksum. When you receive this, you only do a modula 8 addition of all bytes getting a rest of 00.

This is really a very simple and passable checksum protection. The second byte seems to be the number of data bytes in the record.

iondream · Dec 2, 2012

ah I see

Thanks for the response.
I think I understand everything but what you mean by "rest of 00".
so for this one, I add all the bytes together, except for the "9" then substract it from the nearest higher multiple of 8?

80 1C 01 08 31 32 32 32 30 26 30 30 6D 00 70 00 5B 01 00 63 05 20 00 00 00 03 49 02 33 33 59

I am trying to write a bash script to generate these, if that helps.

It looks my solution was a bit premature. What is this device you are communicating with? As far as I can see the MT88E43B is just a modem.

Harald Kapp · Dec 6, 2012

There are many ways to calculate a checksum. From simple parity checks to CRCs to MD5 hashes and on. Unless you know at least what type of checksum is used, it will be pretty hard to figure out the algorithm.

I think CC has made a very good guess. But it's probably not te 1280d you're after, but the rest of 00, as gorgon noted. The "rest of 00" means that you add up using only 2 bytes if the sum is higher than FF, then you cut of the digits to the left and continue using the last 2 digits.

its a device for emergency broadcasts, custom made.

iondream · Dec 9, 2012

So close

Yes, thanks
I think the first hex digit is the number of bytes less the first, mod16
I think the last hex digit is 16 minus the sum of the strings mod 16 value.
But unfortunately it does not always work!
its maddening, because it works for many of the possible values, but not others
am I calculating it incorrectly?

the way I was calculating it was like this

sum=$((794+$mt1+$mt2+$d1+$d2+$h1+$h2+$m1+$m2))
mod=$((sum % 16))
c=$((16-$mod))
with the value like this.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF801C0108$(($mt1-18))$(($mt2-18))$(($d1-18))$(($d2-18))$(($h1-18))$(($h2-18))$(($m1-18))$(($m2-18))6D0070005B010063052000000003490233335$check

I basically converted the strings hex values into decimal values, and summed them, then took the mod 16 of the sum, then subrtracted from 16 to get the value.

I wrote this program to generate checksums

Code:

#!/bin/bash

#binfile="$1"

thisdir=`pwd`
thisdatetime=`date +%m%d%H%M`

# xxd -p binfile -> hex.output.file                     produces hex.output
# cat hex.output.file | xxd -r -p > testbin.2           takes hex.output and builds binfile

so this value works.
it displays 12082035
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF801C010831323038323033356D0070005B0100630520000000034902333351

but this one does not
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF801C010831323038323033366D0070005B01006305200000000349023333510
it should display 120836

wait its giving 10... this is wrong...

Hey Maybe this is gonna work

I think I got it! I just added a check that sets the check to 0 whenever the mod16 of the sum = 0, and its working so far!
here is the codes

I assume you don't have any information on the protocol used here?

Any description at all?

protocol

Yes, we know its fsk, and we found out by testing its Bell202 1200 bps. also, in the original, there are no FF in the beginning, but when you look at the waveform, you see a 1200 hz sine wave before the message starts, and it does not work without it, so I added it with FF, or zeros, which do the same thing.

more data

so after that fix, many more times work, but there are still some that do not. here is a table, the ones that do not work are marked "bad" the rest I tested and work. the first number is the time it displays, then there is the hex string, then there is the sum without the last 2 bytes and then there is the sum with the check sum byte added( I did not add the second to last byte to the sum)

I've read here that bell 202 uses something called "CRC-CCITT polynomial," I am looking this up, I don't know how to generate it or if it even applies to this device really. As always, any help is appreciated.

I also found this

CHECKSUM WORD The Checksum Word contains the twos complement of the modulo 256 sum of the other words in the data message (i.e., message type, message length, and data words). The receiving equipment may calculate the modulo 256 sum of the received words and add this sum to the reveived checksum word. A result of zero generally indicates that the message was correctly received. Message retransmission is not supported.

GOT IT!

I finally got it! It looks like my formula was correct, but it was mod256 instead of 16 like I assumed.

so 256 - mod(sum of string,256) in hex, works every time!

I think this is whats meant by "twos complement of the modulo 256" but I am not really sure.

Thanks again for all your help, I could not have done it without you!

Since you've got the problem fixed, I suppose this is more of academic interrest to you.

CRC-CCITT is a 16 bit polynomial checksum. In nature it is serial and the data is shifted into this with feedbacks from certain bits in the polynomial. If you have enough memory, the easiest way to generate this is via a lookup table, 256 x 16bit values long. The table is generated with the polynomial as base, solving each value possible in a databyte. The algorithm itself is simple and fast using the lookup table.

The result from this processing of each databyte in the telegram is always a 16bit value checksum.
