Hi, a Reed-Solomon Code is a code where the generator polynomail
consists of h = n - k , i.e. h = (255-223) = 32, consecutive roots of
a primitive element of the GF(2^m) field. Thus, for a (255,223) RS
code you would use GF(2^8). The Galois Field polynomial in GF(2^8)
with primitive element z will be a RS generator: g(x) = (1 - z^1)(1 -
z^2)..(1 - z^32).
Actually, the more general form would be g(x) = (1 - z^{i+1})(1 -
z^{i+2})..(1-z^{i+32}).
An RS code is also a cyclic code, implicating that g(x) should divide
x^n - 1, or in the case above, x^255 - 1.
Hope this helps a bit

Use rspoly(n,k) [or rsgenpoly(n,k) in new Matlab versions] to get the
generator polynomial for any RS(n,k) code. You can also specify the
Primitive Polynomial if you like to.
