Hello,
I am currently working on USB Link Layer dissector. It is supposed to
be used with OpenVizsla FPGA-based USB hardware sniffer. USB Packets
feature two CRC types: CRC-5/USB and CRC-16/USB.
The CRC-16/USB is pretty straightforward. I have implemented it in [1]
and it works fine with my captures.
The CRC-5/USB is not so straightforward as it does not operate on the
byte boundary. The CRC-5/USB is calculated on 11 bits of data. I think
there are two possible approaches to check the CRC-5/USB in Wireshark:
1. Compute the CRC5 bitwise on the 11 bits of data, or
2. Compute the CRC5 with table-based algorithm on 2 bytes (11 bits
data + 5 bits CRC) and relying on the CRC properties expect fixed
output.
Which approach would be preferred?
Best Regards,
Tomasz Moń
