lpc_checksum
Python script to calculate LPC firmware checksums, based on the C version by
Roel Verdult. It can be used as a standalone application, or as a Python module
that integrates directly in a build environment (e.g. SCons). It does not need
to be compiled.

Requirements
The only requirement is Python 3.9 or newer.
Installation
This module can be installed from Pypi via pip install lpc_checksum
.

.
Standalone
When installed via Pip or from source, the command lpc_checksum

lpc_checksum <firmware.bin|hex> [--format=bin] [--read-only]
Program exits with a non-zero error code when it failed.
As a module
import lpc_checksum
checksum = lpc_checksum.checksum(input_file, [read_only=True])
