Getting ippStsRangeErr when calling ippsRSEncodeInit_8u

[Noga_Tal]

Hi,

I'm using IPP 7.0 for Linux to do encoding with the Reed Solomon library.

When I set feBitSize = 3, there are no problems, and encoding works fine.

But when I set feBitSize = 8, I get:
ippStsRangeErr: Bad values of bounds: the lower bound is greater than the upper bound
when calling the function ippsRSEncodeInit_8u.

The generator polynomial is {1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1}
root = 1
codeLength = 7
dataLength = 5

Therefore:
256 = orderof(GF) > codeLength > dataLength.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Noga Tal.

Hello,

Please find some comment on some expert on this question:

The classic variant of RS code has the following parameters:
Block length (length of code word): n = q-1
Message length: k
Alphabet size q = 2^m

If the code has n<(q-1), actually it is some "shorted" RS codes. For such "short" code, IPP does not support.

Thanks,
Chao

Thank you for the quick answer!

Can you please refer me to the expert's comment?
I couldn't find it.

Thanks,
