\t \tRaymond Lin's MD5 & SHA-1 Checksum Utility is a standalone freeware tool that generates and verifies cryptographic hashes in MD5 and SHA-1. Cryptographic hash functions are commonly used to guard against malicious changes to protected data in a wide variety of software, Internet, and security applications, including digital signatures and other forms of authentication. Two of the most common cryptographic hash functions are the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) and Message Digest Algorithm-5 (MD5). Checksum utilities are used to verify the integrity of generated hashes. There are two basic types, those that calculate checksum values and those that also validate them by checking them against a list of values for the protected data, which is the only way it can be done.
\t \tMD5 & SHA-1 Checksum Utility is free to download and use, though Ray accepts donations from satisfied users. At a mere 57k, his checksum tool is about as small as a useful, functioning utility can be in this age of bloatware, and even more so considering that it's certified to work in Windows Vista and 7.

Update: I had also checked Is there a built-in checksum utility on Windows 7?, however, that's an old question and does not specifically asks for CRC-32 and Windows 10 may have support for it now. That's why asking this.
recently i upgraded my ST-Link Utility from v3.8.0 to v4.2.0, within that change the value of the calculated checksum for the same Intel-HEX files changed. Below there are screenshots for the different ST-Link Utility versions respectively. In the change-log of ST-Link Utility i did not found information regarding a change in checksum calculation.
You can also verify the file integrity of the downloaded document or program. File Checksum Utility is very easy to use. From the graphical user interface, choose the file or the directory from your computer storage. The tool calculate and display checksum values. You can copy the results to the clipboard or export it to a CSV, XML or TEXT file. The main supported algorithms include MD5 (Message Digest number 5), SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm level 1), SHA-256 and SHA-512.
You can verify it by choosing "Verify..." from the "Images" menu in Disk Utility. In Disk Utility you can disable checksum verification in the program's preferences settings. While in many cases a faulty checksum might be as simple as a metadata change for the file or its contents, or the developer forgetting to update the disk image's checksum after such a change, it could be from a more serious change that could result in corrupted files. This is why it's better to check the image and ensure its data organization is as the developer intended it to be received.
Go to the LibreOffice download page and copy one of the official checksum numbers for the file you downloaded. Of the checksums that LibreOffice offers SHA-256 is the most secure to use. VERY IMPORTANT: When copying the checksum number be absolutely sure that you copy only the number, do not copy any spaces, they are not part of the number.
Blocks in a model can require common functionality to implement their algorithms. Consider modularizing this functionality into standalone support or helper functions. This approach can be more efficient than inlining the code for the functionality for each block instance. To decide about using a library or a shared utility, consider:
Packaging functions that can have multiple callers as shared utilities (produced during code generation) when the functions cannot be defined statically. For example, several model- and block-specific properties specify which functions are used and their behavior. Also, these properties determine type definitions (for example, typedef) in shared utility header files. The number of possible combinations of properties that determine unique behavior make it impractical to define statically the possible function files before code generation.
The naming rule for shared utility functions must include the conditional checksum token $C. To customize the length of the checksum that the code generator produces, use parameter Shared checksum length (SharedChecksumLength) . Increasing the length of the checksum reduces the probability of clashes.
Control placement of shared utility code with the model configuration parameter Shared code placement. The default option value is Auto. For this setting, the code generator places required code for fixed-point and other utilities in the model.c file, the model.cpp file, or a separate file in the build folder (for example, vdp_grt_rtw) if a model does not contain existing shared utility code or one of these blocks:
If a model contains one or more of the preceding blocks, the code generator creates and uses a shared utilities folder within slprj. The naming convention for shared utility folders is slprj/target/_sharedutils. target is sim for simulations with Model blocks or the name of the system target file for code generation.
To force a model build to use the slprj folder for shared utility generation, even when the current model does not contain existing shared utility code or one of the preceding blocks, set parameter Shared code placement to Shared location. The code generator places utilities under the slprj folder rather than in the normal build folder. This setting is useful when you are manually combining code from several models, because it prevents symbol collisions between the models.
If you specify model.h as the header file name, and if the code generator places utility code in a shared location, you cannot generate code from the model. The code generator cannot create the file model.h in both the model build folder and the shared utility folder.
Blocks within the same model and blocks in different models can use a shared function when you use model reference or when you build multiple standalone models from the same start build folder. The code generator produces the code for a given function only once for the block that first triggers code generation. As the product determines the requirement to generate function code for subsequent blocks, it performs a file existence check. If the file exists, the model build does not regenerate the function. The shared utility code mechanism requires that a given function and file name represent the same functional behavior regardless of which block or model generates the function. To satisfy this requirement:
During compilation, makefile rules for the shared utilities folder select compilation of only new C files and incrementally archive the object file into the shared utility library, rtwshared.lib, or rtwshared.a. Incremental compilation also occurs.
When you set the model configuration parameter Shared code placement to Shared location or when the model contains Model blocks, the code generator places shared code in the shared utilities folder. The build process generates a shared utilities checksum of the code generation configuration for the shared code.
During subsequent code generation, if the checksum file slprj/target/_sharedutils/checksummap.mat exists relative to the current folder, the code generator reads that file. The code generator verifies that the current model that you are building has configuration properties that match the checksum of properties from the shared utility model. If mismatches occur between the properties defined in checksummap.mat and the current model properties, you see an error. Use the error message to manage the checksum (for example, diagnose and resolve the configuration issues with the current model).
It is helpful to view the property values that contribute to the checksum. This example uses the LctStartTermActions model. To load the checksum.mat file into MATLAB and view the targetInfoStruct that defines the checksum-related properties:
The issue that I am facing right now. I am trying to upgrade MariaDB from 10.4.10 to 10.11.4. The checksum algorithm used in 10.4.10 is innodb. The checksum we are trying to use in 10.11.4 is full_crc32. We take physical backups in 10.4.10. The restore process includes innochecksum utility to compare checksums generated with stored checksums to identify any damages to data pages.
When I try to restore the backup taken in 10.4.10 with innodb checksum to MariaDB 10.11.4 with full_crc32 checksum. Checksum comparison fails for each innodb tables in my database at the first page complaining as following;
As mentioned previously we use innochecksum utility to make this comparison. The initial understanding is that innochecksum utility has removed deprecated checksum algorithms from use (innnodb, none). Hence, it will not be supported. MDEV-25105
Then we decided to migrate the checksum algorithm to an algorithm(crc32) supported in innochecksum utility and MariaDB 10.4.10 (reason we did not pick full_crc32 is because it was not introduced) and take backups. Hence, we decided to migrate MariaDB 10.4.10 to crc32 first so the physical backups taken would be compatible with MariaDB 10.11.4 if we use crc32/full_crc32 algorithm.
