Hello,
I'm having an issue starting a hamming code. I understand fundamentally how they work, in for example, an 8 bit system. 4 redundant bits will be added which are used as parity bits. I know their positions (powers of 2), but how exactly does one do this in code? If I have 1111 and do
MOV r0, #0xF LSR r0, r0, #2
I will get 0011 1100. This gives me my first two parity bits. But how do I get the next one? I don't know how to shift everything after bit 2 to the left without moving my data bit at bit 2. I think I need to use multiple registers for each insertion of redundant bit and possibly using something like an EOR operation to join them together.
Thank you very much
Cheers. Thanks for the suggestion.
