SROM Packer
15.1 Overview
The SROM Packer (SROM) tool processes an executable file (such as one produced
by ASTRIP) and packs the bits into an image using the SROM file format required
by the CPU. The resultant image is provided in an Intel Hex file format for
programming ROMs (see HEXPAD) with a device programmer.
15.2 Command Format
The SROM Packer has the following command format:
>% srom [- options ] input_file [output_file]
If no options are specified, the default condition is to generate an instruction cache
image for the Alpha 21064 with a maximum cache size of 8KB with no SROM
padding.
The following table lists the options:
