Anyone knows if crc32 and md5sum give the same result? Which is better?
In the u-boot only crc32 is used.
Bye,
Antonio.

a) No.
b) Quantify "better". More secure: md5. Faster (probably): crc32.
Smaller: crc32.

Of course they don't give the same result.
What is better depends on what you need it for.

Yes, and this is IMHO perfectly OK.
