SREC
14.1 Overview
The S-record tool (SREC) produces an input file for programming SROMs with
device programmers. SREC generates Motorola S-record output from either an
executable file (such as a file produced by ASTRIP), or an a.out format object file
produced by GAS. The Motorola S-record file can also be loaded through the serial
port of a motherboard with the Alpha Microprocessor Motherboard Debug Monitor
load or boot commands.
14.2 Command Format
The SREC command format is:
>% srec [- options ] [input_file] [output_file]
The following table lists the options:
Option Designation Description
