I wrote some programs to create CRCs back in the '80s but haven't had much exposure to them since. I'm not sure from your question exactly what you're looking for, but it seems you're looking for an algorithm to interpret a group of Reed-Solomon polynomials to recover the original data. From what I understand you will need to know the generating polynomial to decode them. Take a look at the following links and see if they give you enough information to get started. I understand enough of the technology to read and understand what is written there, but haven't taken the time to understand it enough to do an implementation [url=http://www.4i2i.com/reed_solomon_codes.htm]A description of Reed-Solomon Codes[/url] [url=http://www.4i2i.com/reed_solomon_software.htm]Reed-Solomon software[/url] [url=http://www.eccpage.com/reed_solomon_codes.html]The history of Reed-Solomon codes[/url] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed-Solomon_code]Wikipedia - Reed-Solomon[/url] I found this last one to be the lease useful of the group, but it contains some links to other sites on Reed-Solomon that may be useful. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
