NAME

       srec_formatted_binary - Formatted Binary file format

DESCRIPTION

       This is the PDP-11 paper tape format, described in the DEC-11-GGPC-D PDP-11 "Paper Tape Software Programming Handbook" 1972.

       The file starts with a character sequence which appears as an arrow when punched on 8-hole paper tape.
	      0x08, 0x1C, 0x2A, 0x49, 0x08, 0x00

       Then follows a byte count, encoded big-endian in the low 4 bits of the next 4 bytes.  The high bits should be zero.

       Then follows a 0xFF byte.

       The data follows, as many bytes as specified in the header.

       The trailer consists of the following bytes:
	      0x00, 0x00,
       and then a 2-byte checksum (big-endian).

       The alternate header sequence
	      0x08, 0x1C, 0x3E, 0x6B, 0x08, 0x00
       is followed by an 8-nibble big-endian byte count.

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized very little when represented with this format.

EXAMPLE

       Here is a hex dump of a formatted binary file containing the data "Hello, World!".
	      0000: 08 1C 2A 49 08 00 00 00  ..*I....
	      0008: 00 0E FF 48 65 6C 6C 6F  ...Hello
	      0010: 2C 20 57 6F 72 6C 64 21  , World!
	      0018: 0A 00 00 04 73	     ....s

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).
	      000080:4865
	      000081:6C6C
	      000082:6F2C
	      000083:2057
	      000084:6F72
	      000085:6C64
