Simple Hash Algorithms For Microcontrollers

The following code example comes from the GitHub repo canzero-driver-firmware.

/* * * *
 * The pseudo hash below is loosely based on MD5.
 * It aims the create a unique 8 byte ID from a 12 byte unique ID
 * with low probability of collision.
 * The previous approach of selecting certain bits for the 12 byte
 * ID to create an 8 byte ID had an 2-3% collissions, which is not
 * very big but could still become problematic.
