NAME

       srec_fastload - LSI Logic Fast Load file format

DESCRIPTION

       The  FastLoad  Format  uses  a compressed ASCII format that permits files to be downloaded in less than half the time taken for Motorola S-
       records.

       The base-64 encoding used is "A-Za-z0-9,.".  The data is encoded in groups of 4 characters (3 bytes, 24 bits).

       The character '/' is used to introduce a special function.  Special functions are:

       Annnnnn Defines an address.

       Bnn     Define a single byte.

       Cnnnn   Compare the checksums.  The checksum is a simple positive 16-bit sum, of the data bytes only.

       EAA     Define the program's entry point.  The address will be the current address as defined by the A command.	(The  AA  number  in  this
	       command is ignored.)  This must be the last entry in the file.

       KAA     Clear the checksum.  (The AA number in this command is ignored.)

       Sname,X Define a symbol.  The address of the symbol will be the current address as defined by the A command.

       Znn     Clear a number of bytes.

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 1.4 times when represented with this format.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example LSI Logic Fast Load format file.  It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0.
	      /AAAA
	      SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxk/BAK/CARS/AAAA/EAA

NAME

       srec_atmel_generic - Atmel Generic file format

DESCRIPTION

       This  format is the output of the Atmel AVR assembler.  The file contains two columns of hexadecimal coded values.  The first column is the
       24-bit word address, the second column is the 16-bit word data.	The columns are separated by a colon (`:') character.

       By default, SRecord treats this is little-endian data (the least significant byte first).  If you want big endian order,  use  the  -atmel-
       generic-be argument instead.

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 6.0 times when represented with this format (6.5 times in Windows).

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example Atmel Generic file.  It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at bytes address 0x0100 (but remember, the file
       contents are word addressed).
