NAME

       srec_fairchild - Fairchild Fairbug file format

DESCRIPTION

       The Fairchild Fairbug format has 8-byte records.  A file begins with an address record and ends with an end-of-file record.

       There are three record types in this file format.

       Address records are of the form

								       +--+------+
								       |S | nnnn |
       indicating the address for the following data records.	       +--+------+

       Data records are of the form

							       +--+------------------+---+
							       |X | ffffffffffffffff | c |
       Each  data  record  begins with an X and always contains+8-data-bytes.--The-ff+characters are hexadecimal byte values (8 bytes).  Each data
       byte is represented by 2 hexadecimal characters.  The c character is a hex digit being the the nibble-sum of the  data  bytes.	A  1-digit
       hexadecimal checksum follows the data in each data record.  The checksum represents, in hexadecimal notation, the sum of the binary equiva-
       lents of the 16 digits in the record; the half carry from the fourth bit is ignored.  The programmer  ignores  any  character  (except  for
       address	characters  and the asterisk character, which terminates the data transfer) between a checksum and the start character of the next
       data record. This space can be used for comments.

       The end-of-file record has the form

									   +--+
									   |* |
       The last record consists of an asterisk only, which indicates the end-of file.

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 2.4 times when represented with this format.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example Fairchild Fairbug file.  It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x1000.   Notice  how  the  last
       record is padded with 0xFF bytes.
	      S1000
	      X48656C6C6F2C2057C
	      X6F726C64210AFFFF3
	      *

NAME

       srec_stewie - Stewie's binary file format

DESCRIPTION

       If you have a URL for documentation of this format, please let me know.

       Any  resemblance to the Motorola S-Record is superficial, and extends only to the data records.	The header records and termination records
       are completely different.  None of the other Motorola S-Records record type are available.

   The Records
       All records start with an ASCII capital S character, value 0x53, followed by a type specifier byte.  All records consist of binary bytes.

   The Header Record
       Each file starts with a fixed four byte header record.

							       +-----+------+------+------+
							       |0x53 | 0x30 | 0x30 | 0x33 |
							       +-----+------+------+------+
   The Data Records
       Each data record consists of 5 fields. These are the type field, length field, address field, data field,  and  the  checksum.	The  lines
       always start with a capital S character.

						+-----+------+---------------+---------+------+----------+
						|0x53 | Type | Record Length | Address | Data | Checksum |
						+-----+------+---------------+---------+------+----------+
       Type    The  type  field  is  a	one byte field that specifies whether the record has a two-byte address field (0x31), a three-byte address
	       field (0x32) or a four-byte address field (0x33).  The address is big-endian.

       Record Length
	       The record length field is a one byte field that specifies the number of bytes in the record following this byte.

       Address This is a 2-, 3- or 4-byte address that specifies where the data in the record is to be loaded into memory.

       Data    The data field contains the executable code, memory-loadable data or descriptive information to be transferred.

       Checksum
	       The checksum is a one byte field that represents the least significant byte of the one's complement of the sum of the values repre-
	       sented by the bytes making up the record's length, address, and data fields.

   The Termination Record
       Each file ends with a fixed two byte termination record.

								      +-----+------+
								      |0x53 | 0x38 |
								      +-----+------+
   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 1.2 times when represented with this format.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an hex-dump example file.  It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0.
	      0000: 53 30 30 33 53 31 10 00 00 48 65 6C 6C 6F 2C 20  S003S1...Hello,
	      0010: 57 6F 72 6C 64 0A 9D 53 38			     World..S8
