NAME

       srec_ti_txt - Texas Instruments ti‐txt (MSP430) file format

DESCRIPTION

       The ti‐TXT format is used by the Texas Instruments MSP430 familty programming adapter.

       The  TI‐TXT  hex  format  supports  16‐bit  hexadecimal  data.  It consists of one or more
       sections, followed by the end‐of‐file indicator.

       Each section consistes  of  an  at  (@)  sign  followed  a  execution  start  address  (in
       hexadecimal),  and  newline, and then data bytes (in hexadecimal).  The section address is
       followed by a newline.  There are to be 16 data bytes per line, except for the  last  line
       in a section.

       The  end‐of‐file  indicator  is  the  letter  q  followed  by  a newline.  The end‐of‐file
       indicator mandatory.

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 3.0 times  when  represented
       with this format.

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example ti‐txt file taken from the reference below:
              @F000
              31 40 00 03 B2 40 80 5A 20 01 D2 D3 22 00 D2 E3
              21 00 3F 40 E8 FD 1F 83 FE 23 F9 3F
              @FFFE
              00 F0
              q

SEE ALSO

       http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slau101,  section  A.2.   Note: the portion which says addresses
       must be even, and the number of data bytes in a section must be even, is wrong.
