6 srec_needham - Needham EMP‐series programmer ASCII file format
7
9 This format is understood by Needham Electronics' EMP‐series program‐
10 mers. See www.needhams.com/winman.pdf for more information. (This
11 format is very similar to the ASCII‐Hex format, but without the ^B and
12 ^C guard characters.)
13
14 Each data byte is represented as 2 hexadecimal characters, and is sepa‐
15 rated by white space from all other data bytes.
16
17 The address for data bytes is set by using a sequence of $Annnn, char‐
18 acters, where nnnn is the 8‐character ascii representation of the
19 address. The comma is required. There is no need for an address
20 record unless there are gaps. Implicitly, the file starts a address 0
21 if no address is set before the first data byte.
22
23 Size Multiplier
24 In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 3.0 times
25 when represented with this format.
26
28 Here is an example ascii‐hex file. It contains the data “Hello,
29 World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x1000.
