i am working a little bit with Ghidra. My assembly code doesn't match with the decompiled code:

                             *                          FUNCTION                          *
                             **************************************************************

                               assume LRset = 0x0
                               assume TMode = 0x1
             undefined         r0:1           <RETURN>
             undefined4        r0:4           param_1
             int               r1:4           param_2
             int               r2:4           param_3
                             CalCrc8                                         XREF[2]:     Entry Point(*),

void CalCrc8(undefined4 param_1,int param_2,int param_3)

{
  param_3 = param_2 + param_3;
  while (param_2 != param_3) {
    param_2 = param_2 + 1;
  }
  return;
}

The XOR (address 00059de6) and fetching the value from the CRC8Table is missing. How do i fix the decompiled code?

The architecture is ARM32v8.

The question was a while ago, but i think the trick was to change the return type of the function "CalcCrc8"

Edit: Ghidra doesn't recognize the return type in this example. It thinks that it is void, in reality it was something else. It probably interprets a machine-instruction wrongly as a return? So edit the return type of the function parameter to your needed return type (probably look at the assembler code). For my case, the rest of the function was then interpreted correctly by ghidra.

  • Hi @AndiYo would you mind sharing how? E.g. a shortcut you used or a screenshot of the menu item(s) you used?!
