Serialized Data Buffer

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

void build_packet(uint8_t command, uint16_t value, uint8_t status, uint32_t checksum) {
    uint8_t buffer[10];

    buffer[0] = 0xA5;
    buffer[1] = command;
    *(uint16_t*)(buffer + 2) = value;
    buffer[4] = status;
    *(uint32_t*)(buffer + 5) = checksum;
    buffer[9] = 0x5A;

    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        printf("%u", buffer[i]);
        if(i < 9) {
            printf(" ");
        }
    }
}

int main() {
    uint8_t cmd, status;
    uint16_t val;
    uint32_t crc;

    scanf("%hhu %hu %hhu %u", &cmd, &val, &status, &crc);
    build_packet(cmd, val, status, crc);
    return 0;
}
