NAME
srec_needham - Needham EMP-series programmer ASCII file format
DESCRIPTION
This format is understood by Needham Electronics' EMP-series programmers. See www.needhams.com/winman.pdf for more information. (This
format is very similar to the ASCII-Hex format, but without the ^B and
^C guard characters.)
Each data byte is represented as 2 hexadecimal characters, and is separated by white space from all other data bytes.
- The address for data bytes is set by using a sequence of $Annnn, characters, where nnnn is the 8-character ascii representation of the
address. The comma is required. There is no need for an address
record unless there are gaps. Implicitly, the file starts a address 0
if no address is set before the first data byte.
- Size Multiplier
- In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 3.0 times when represented with this format.
EXAMPLE
- Here is an example ascii-hex file. It contains the data "Hello,
World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x1000.
- $A1000,
