8-bit checksum is off by one

Need help figuring out an 8-bit checksum. The data is 132byte vectors. I thought I had the checksum figured out as I am able to transfer ~30kb of data before I hit the last segment of data shown blow which the checksum fails on. Its off by one.

It looks like the checksum is close to what you thought it were (the inverted high-order bits of sum(data)), but corrected with bit 7 of that sum, as follows:

a = sum>>8

return a ^ 0xff

Or, simpler, using addition of a constant to account for bit 7 correction:

def cshc(data):
s = sum(data) + 0x80
h = s >> 8
return h ^ 0xff


This gives correct answers for all of the samples you provided (there are only two that have bit7 of the sum equal to 1, so I can't confirm that adding 0x80 is the exact correction needed, try it out with more samples and print both the computed final checksum and the value of sum(data)&0xff to see that this is indeed the correct way to do it.

sum(data)&0xff

The correct answer for the mystery checksum ended up being the function below:

def checksum8bit(data):
return 0xff - ((sum(data))-1) >> 8)
