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.
