[comp.sys.m68k] Motorola S-Records

cornwell@hamlet.uucp (Richard P. Cornwell) (12/14/89)

   Hi, I have just finished construction of a 68010 single board computer.
The EPROM monitor I choose will read Motorola S-records from the serial port.
I was wondering if anybody has a BSD Unix a.out to S-record converter program.
I would prefere PD or Free-ware since funds are tight and this is a personal
project.

I'm not sure if it could be converted to do the job for you, but a program
was posted to comp.sources.atari.st a while back that builds S-records from
TTP executables (an Atari ST binary format).  The source can be obtained
from the Panarthea archive server (panarthea.ebay.sun.com).

Hope it helps!

   I'm not sure if it could be converted to do the job for you, but a program

   TTP executables (an Atari ST binary format).  The source can be obtained

As I mentioned to Rich, there is a program to convert BSD Unix a.out
to Motorola S-recs, Intel Hex format or Tektronics format.  It is
easily ported to convert SysV binaries (someone did that the last time
I posted the program to this newsgroup).  It works well and we have
done some projects with a MC68020 based robotics controller hanging
off a uVAX using a Sun workstation and this program.  The program was
posted some time ago to mod.sources and is called tohex (you might
find it in the volume 1 archives of comp.sources.misc, also).  If you
need a copy drop me a line and I'll send it to you -- with sufficient
demand I'll post it again.

In article <KAUL.89Dec19140322@icarus.eng.ohio-state.edu> I write:
   [tohex] -- with sufficient demand I'll post it again.

Having gotten nearly a dozen requests already, I just decided to post
the source here.  I'd crosspost to alt.sources, but this should be on
archive sites anyway (although comp.sources.misc volume 1 has been
deleted from uunet from what I hear).  It's reasonably short.
Remember, I didn't write this, I'm just reposting for all those
interested.

X.TH TOHEX 1L
X.. Copyright 1984, 1987 by Phillip L. Harbison
X.SH NAME
Xtohex - convert UNIX a.out files to readable hex formats.
X.SH SYNOPSIS
X.bo
Xtohex
X{ -i | -s | -t } [-ln] [+n] file
X.SH DESCRIPTION
X.ad
X.ul
XTohex
Xreads a file in UNIX a.out format and converts
Xto one of several hex-ascii formats.
XOutput is directed to the standard output.
XThe
X.ul
X-s
Xoption specifies Motorola S-record format.
XThe
X.ul
X-i
Xoption specifies Intel hex format.
XThe
X.ul
X-t
Xoption specifies Tektronix hex (tekhex) format.
XA valid hex format and input filename
Xmust be specified on the command line.
X.LP
XA record length may be specified using the
X.ul
X-ln
Xoption,
Xwhere n is the record length (decimal).
XThe default record length is 32 byte-pairs.
XThe maximum record length is 251 byte-pairs
Xfor S-record format,
Xand 255 byte-pairs for Intel-hex and Tekhex format.
X.LP
XTohex will derive the starting address offset
Xfrom the header information in the a.out file.
XA starting address offset may also
Xbe provided using the
X.ul
X+n
Xoption.
XThe offset n (hexadecimal) will be used
Xinstead of the value derived from the a.out header.
XSpecifying an offset is usually unnecessary
Xfor object files generated by the UNIX loader.
X.SH EXAMPLES
XThe first example shows the file
X.ul
Xnewprog
Xbeing converted to Intel-hex records 
Xwith a starting address offset of A000 (hex)
Xand written to
X.ul
Xnewprog.hex.
XThe second example shows the file
X.ul
Xnewprog
Xbeing converted to S-records
Xwith a length of 64 byte-pairs,
Xthe output being redirected to
X.ul
Xnewprog.hex.
X.sp 1
X.nf
X		tohex -i +0A000 newprog > newprog.hex
X		tohex -s -l64 newprog > newprog.hex
X.fi
X.SH DIAGNOSTICS
X.ul
XTohex
Xwill complain if it cannot find a valid format
Xspecifier and input filename on the command line,
Xif the record length exceeds the maximum record
Xlength for the specified format,
Xor if the input file is not stripped
Xof symbol table information.
XMessages should be self-explaining.
X.SH NOTES
XThe magic number is defined as FMAGIC in the
Xa.out.h file on the author's system,
Xand may not be correct for other systems.
XPure executable a.out files are not supported,
Xsince initialized data is assumed to follow
Xdirectly after text.
XThe S-record format supported is the S2/S8 record,
Xproviding 24-bit addressing.
XThe termination (S8) record will contain the starting address.
XThe Intel-hex format only supports 16-bit addressing.

X *	Tohex  is a utility for converting UNIX a.out files into various
X *	readable  hex  formats  suitable for downloading or inter-system
X *	file  transfer.   Motorola S-records, Tek-hex, and Intel Hex are
X *	currently  supported.   Other  formats  can  be  added easily by
X *	adding  a  formatter  module  and  modifying  getargs.   Toshex,
X *	toihex,  and  totekhex are the current formatter modules.  Tohex
X *	does not support System V COFF object files.

Tohex, as posted, would not compile under SunOS 4.0.  Here are the changes
I made to get it to compile (I tested it a little and I am fairly sure
it still works correctly, but I make no guarantees).
