This module can be installed from Pypi via pip install lpc_checksum. Alternatively, you can install the latest version by cloning this repository and run python setup.py install.

Usage

There are two ways of using lpc_checksum.

Standalone

When installed via Pip or from source, the command lpc_checksum should be available on your PATH. By default, it assumes the input file is a binary file.

lpc_checksum <firmware.bin|hex> [--format=bin] [--readonly]

Program exits with a non-zero error code when it failed.

As a module
