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
