6 srec_ti_tagged_16 - Texas Instruments Tagged (SDSMAC 320) file format
7
9 This format is also known as the TI-Tagged or Textas Instruments SDSMAC
10 [4m(320) format.
11 This format allows binary files to be uploaded and downloaded between
13 two computer systems, typically between a computer system (such as a
14 PC, Macintosh, or workstation) and an emulator or evaluation board for
15 16-bit microcontrollers and microprocessors.
16 The Lines
18 Unlike many other object formats, the lines themselves are not espe‐
19 cially significant. The format consits of a number of tagged fields,
20 and lines are composed of a series of these fields.
21 Tag Description
23 ─────────────────────────────────
24 * Data byte.
25 : End of file.
26 0 File header (optional).
27 7 Checksum.
28 8 Dummy checksum (ignored).
29 9 Word Address.
30 B Data word.
31 F End of data record.
32 K Program identifier
33 (optional).
34 Data Byte
36 ┌──┬───┬───┐
37 │B │ n │ n │
38 One byte of data. The nn is 8└-─b─i┴t──b─i┴g─-─e─n┘dian hexadecimal.
39 End of File
41 ┌──┬──────┐
42 │: │ CRLF │
43 The end of data is indicated b└y──t┴h─i─s──t─a─g┘. The end of line sequence (LF
44 on Unix systems, CRLF on PCs) follows this tag.
45 File Header
47 ┌──┬────────┬──────────┐
48 │0 │ length │ filename │
49 The optional start-of-fi└l─e─┴r─e─c─o─r─d──b─e┴g─i─n─s──w─i─t─h──a┘tag character ('0') and
50 a 12-character file header. The first four characters are the count (in
51 hex) of the 16-bit data word values (B) which follow, not including
52 data byte values (*). The remaining file header characters are the name
53 of the file and may be any ASCII characters, blank padded.
54 Checksum
56 ┌──┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
57 │7 │ n │ n │ n │ n │
58 The checksum is the 2s└──c┴o─m─p─l┴e─m─e─n┴t──s─u┴m──o─f┘the 8-bit ASCII values of
59 characters, beginning with the first tag character and ending with the
60 checksum tag character (7). The nnnn is 16-bit big-endian hexadecimal.
61 Dummy Checksum
63 ┌──┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
64 │8 │ n │ n │ n │ n │
65 The checksum is the 2s└──c┴o─m─p─l┴e─m─e─n┴t──s─u┴m──o─f┘the 8-bit ASCII values of
66 characters, beginning with the first tag character and ending with the
67 checksum tag character (8). The nnnn is 16-bit big-endian hexadecimal.
68 Address
70 ┌──┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
71 │9 │ n │ n │ n │ n │
72 Addresses may be given f└o─r─┴a─n─y─┴d─a─t─a┴─b─y─t┴e─,──b┘ut none is mandatory. The
73 file begins at 0000 if no address is given before the first data field.
74 The nnnn is 16-bit big-endian hexadecimal.
75 Data Word
77 ┌──┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
78 │B │ a │ a │ b │ b │
79 Two bytes of data. The └a─a─┴a─n─d─┴b─b──a┴r─e──e┴a─c─h─┘8-bit big-endian hexadeci‐
80 mal.
81 End of Record
83 ┌──┬──────┐
84 │F │ CRLF │
85 The end of line sequence (LF o└n──U┴n─i─x──s─y─s┘tems, CRLF on PCs) is escaped
86 using this tag. The checksum is reset to zero at this point.
87 Program Identifier
89 ┌──┬───┬───┬───┬───┬──────┐
90 │K │ n │ n │ n │ n │ text │
91 The program identifie└r──c┴a─n──c┴o─n─t─a┴i─n──a┴─b─r─i┴e─f──d─e─s─c┘ription of the program,
92 or can be empty (i.e. the text portion is optional). The nnnn length
93 (hex) of the field includes the `K', the length and the text; it is at
94 least 5.
95 Size Multiplier
97 In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 2.9 times
98 when represented with this format.

101 Here is an example TI-Tagged file. It contains the data ``Hello,
102 World'' to be loaded at address 0x0100.
