ME7 Eeprom Checksum Guide

The ME7 EEPROM contains 512 bytes divided into 32 pages of 16 bytes each. Each page has a descriptor word with bits indicating if the page has a checksum, backup page, and how to calculate the checksum. The checksum is calculated by summing the first 14 bytes of a page, adding or subtracting the page number, and storing the result in the last two bytes.

ME7 EEPROM Checksum-Guide

=========================
The ME7 EEPROM contains 512 bytes and is divided into 32 pages with 16 bytes per
page.
In the ME7 code you will find a table with 32 entries that contains one descript
or word for
each eeprom page. The index into this table is the eeprom pagenumber (00..31).
The descriptor word is a bitmask, the following bits are relevant for the checks
um calculation:
bit 0 = checksumPresent(CS) 1 -> page has checksum, 0 -> page has no checksu
m.
bit 6 = cksumBit(CB)
this bit is subtracted from the pageNumber to get
the
same checksum in backup page as in original page.
bit 7 = backupPage(BP)
1 -> page has a backup page.
Here is how the eeprom page info table looks like:

If the checksumBit(CS) is set for a page,
Calculate the checksum as follows:
- sum up the first 14 bytes of the eeprom
- add the page number to the sum.
- if the checksumBit(CB) is set, subtract
- negate the sum (this is not the same as

- store the resulting value in the last two bytes of the eeprom page,
first the low-byte, then the high-byte.
