7
9 The ti‐TXT format is used by the Texas Instruments MSP430 familty pro‐
10 gramming adapter.
11
12 The TI‐TXT hex format supports 16‐bit hexadecimal data. It consists of
13 one or more sections, followed by the end‐of‐file indicator.
14
15 Each section consistes of an at (@) sign followed a execution start
16 address (in hexadecimal), and newline, and then data bytes (in hexadec‐
17 imal). The section address is followed by a newline. There are to be
18 16 data bytes per line, except for the last line in a section.
19
20 The end‐of‐file indicator is the letter q followed by a newline. The
21 end‐of‐file indicator mandatory.

38 which says addresses must be even, and the number of data bytes in a
39 section must be even, is wrong.
