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.
