@@ -150,12 +150,25 @@ protocol for the @samp{qCRC} command. In order to get the same
results as gdb for a block of data, you must pass the first CRC
parameter as @code{0xffffffff}.
+This CRC can be specified as:
+
+ Width : 32
+ Poly : 0x04c11db7
+ Init : parameter, typically 0xffffffff
+ RefIn : false
+ RefOut : false
+ XorOut : 0
+
+This differs from the "standard" CRC-32 algorithm in that the values
+are not reflected, and there is no final XOR value. These differences
+make it easy to compose the values of multiple blocks.
