πŸ¦‹ srec_forth(5) πŸ¦‹

okay so this page comes from the File Formats Manual, and it’s all about the FORTH file format. Bestie, it’s short, it’s specific, and we’re keeping every detail exactly as written. πŸ’–


🌸 NAME 🌸

srec_forth β€” the FORTH file format. That’s the name section, and it ate. ✨


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

okay so real talk: this format can be read by FORTH interpreters. πŸ‘‘

The file starts with HEX to set the number base.

Each line contains the address, the byte and a store command β€” either C! for RAM or EEC! for EEPROM. Copy those exactly, bestie: C! and EEC!, no improvising. πŸ’…
