JEDUTIL(1)

✨ JEDUTIL ✨

okay bestie, so this is the MAME JEDEC file utilities page 💅 and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, and it's about to make your PLD life so much easier 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

jedutil [option]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, Programmable Logic Devices (aka PLDs) keep their data in a format called JEDEC — it's literally just a text file, but it's built so programmers can shove extra info in there too 📝✨

meanwhile MAME is out here using a raw binary representation of that same data instead. and why? because that's how it gets correct identification of PLD data through CRC and SHA1 algorithms — like, iykyk, it's the -romident option doing its thing 👑

and that's the whole plot: jedutil gives you an easy way to convert PLD data between these two formats 🔁 no cap.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -convert inputfile outputfile [fuses] — converts JEDEC data between file formats. both .jed (JEDEC) and .pla (Berkeley standard PLA) files can be converted to a .bin (binary) file, but a binary file can only be converted to a .jed file. that's it, that's the rule, don't come for me 🙈
• -view inputfile device — dumps logic equations. inputfile can be either a JED or binary file. either one, she doesn't care 💅
• -viewlist — views the list of supported devices. go look, go be nosy 👀
