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 $A
nnnn,
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,
48 65 6C 6C 6F 2C 20 57 6F 72 6C 64 0A
