ENCODE_RS8(9) Public Functions Provided ENCODE_RS8(9)

NAME

encode_rs8 - Calculate the parity for data values (8bit data width)

SYNOPSIS

int encode_rs8(struct rs_control * rs, uint8_t * data, int len, uint16_t * par, uint16_t invmsk);

ARGUMENTS

struct rs_control * rs

the rs control structure

uint8_t * data

data field of a given type

int len

data length

uint16_t * par

parity data, must be initialized by caller (usually all 0)

uint16_t invmsk

invert data mask (will be xored on data)

DESCRIPTION

The parity uses a uint16_t data type to enable symbol size > 8. The calling code must take care of encoding of the syndrome result for storage itself.
