srec_atmel_generic(5)

💖 NAME 💖

srec_atmel_generic — Atmel Generic file format. That's the whole name vibe, bestie.

This is the srec_atmel_generic(5) page from the File Formats Manual (SRecord), and it's here to explain the Atmel Generic format to you. 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so this format is the output of the Atmel AVR assembler. The file contains two columns of hexadecimal coded values. The first column is the 24-bit word address, and the second column is the 16-bit word data. The columns are separated by a colon (:) character. Periodt. 💅

By default, SRecord treats this is little-endian data (the least significant byte first). If you want big endian order, use the -atmel‐generic‐be argument instead. No cap.

🎀 Size Multiplier 🎀

In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 6.0 times when represented with this format (6.5 times in Windows). It's giving "bigger than you expected," but that's literally the math. 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

Here's an example Atmel Generic file. It contains the data Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at bytes address 0x0100 (but remember, the file contents are word addressed). So like, word addressing is the main character here, iykyk. 👑
