I'm having problem fixing the endianness of the value that I got.
What I'm thinking is separate a WORD to two, convert them to hex, and store them in an array.
The WORD is the "crc_data" that is return to my previous question(which has been answered).
For example:
I got a "result" data from the code of:
crc_data = 0A95
*Note: crc_data is datatype WORD
What I'm thinking is separate them into two, and make them as hex. Like this:
value_1 = 0x95
value_2 = 0x0A
Is there a way to do that? I read something about "BITWISE" operation, but I'm not sure if that's the way to do it.
You could cast to a char*. You would do it like this:
crc_data = 0x0A95
const unsigned char *k = (const unsigned char*) &crc_data;
value_1 = k[0];
value_2 = k[1];
The char pointer just lets you treat the data as though it was a string of bytes. You can then read them with the [] notation.
Another way is to use math to get the upper and lower parts. The bitshift operator << will shitf your data down 8 bits. It's the same as dividing by 256.
crc_data = 0x0A95;
value_1 = crc_data & 0xFF;
value_2 = (crc_data >> 8) & 0xFF;
Another option is to use a union. Basically there are a lot of ways to do this.
