I receive a buffer of bytes that has a CRC check at the end. According to the manual, this is the CRC-16-IBM algorithm with the polynomial 0xA001 ( reversed as seen in Wikipedia ).
To implement this I translated code from several SO questions from Java to C# into JS but nothing seems to work and I have no idea why.
Here is the implementation I am currently dealing with:
const crc16ibm = buffer => {
const table = [
0x0000, 0xC0C1, 0xC181, 0x0140, 0xC301, 0x03C0, 0x0280, 0xC241,

];
let crc = 0x0000;
for( const byte of buffer ){
crc = crc >>> 8 ^ table[ ( crc ^ byte ) & 0xff ];
}
return crc;
};
module.exports = crc16ibm;
Here is a test that is supposed to work:
const hexStr = Buffer.from( "000000000000001C0D01050000001056E924222347455420444154414F524445520D0A01", "hex");
const expectedCrc = 0x00004990;
assert( crc16ibm( hexStr ), expectedCrc ); //NOPE!
I have quite literally tried everything, but either the examples I am using to test my code are wrong, or I have no idea on what's going on. At this point I weight both equally.
Is the problem with the lookup table?
The manual provides a graphic with an image of a ( quite inefficient ) possible way to implement this, via repeated for loops instead of using a table:
But I would much rather use a table and find out what is actually wrong in my current algorithm...
There's nothing wrong with your table or code to compute the CRC described in the flow chart. There must be something wrong with your test vector.
