Subject: CRC-8 algorithm

If for "large base of existing code" means widely used then you could check
for the one used in the 1-wire communication protocol.
It is an ubiquous single-wire bus very common in embedded devices.
Some info could be found in the document: http://www.maxim-ic.com/appnotes.cfm/appnote_number/27
