Usage
There are two ways of using lpc_checksum
.
Standalone
When installed via Pip or from source, the command lpc_checksum

lpc_checksum <firmware.bin|hex> [--format=bin] [--readonly]
Program exits with a non-zero error code when it failed.
As a module
import lpc_checksum
checksum = lpc_checksum.checksum(input_file, [readonly=True])
On error, an exception will be raised.
