srec_ppx - Stag Prom Programmer hexadecimal format
This is the native hexadecimal format of the Stag Prom Programmer.
Format
The file must start with an asterisk ’*’ on a
line by itself.
Each line has a 16-bit address, followed by 8-bit bytes.
The end is indicated by ’$S’ folloowed by a 16-bit checksum of the data bytes as 4 hex digits.
Command Line
Option
This format is specified using the -PPX command line
option.
Size
Multiplier
In general, binary data will expand in sized by
approximately 3 times when represented with this format
(worse if you use shorter lines).
Here is an example PPX file. It contains the data “Hello, World” to be loaded at bytes address 0x0000 (but remember, the file contents are always multiples of four bytes).
