Checksums
The PIROM includes multiple checksums.
includes the checksum values for
each section defined in the 128-byte ROM.
Checksums are automatically calculated and programmed by Intel. The first step in
calculating the checksum is to add each byte from the field to the next subsequent
byte. This result is then negated to provide the checksum.
calculating the checksum is to add each byte from the field to the next subsequent
byte. This result is then negated to provide the checksum.
Example: For a byte string of AA445Ch, the resulting checksum will be B6h.
AA = 10101010
44 = 01000100
5C = 0101100
AA + 44 + 5C = 01001010
Negate the sum: 10110101 +1 = 101101 (B6h)
