Bin2IntelHex.c

This is code for a ROM binary converter from Binary to IntelHex format.

/* name : bin2intelhex.c
 * from : Jean Marc Lacroix <jeanmarc.lacroix@free.fr>
 * date : 06/12/1997.
 * abstract : Y have rewrite this program from ????? with some modifications
 * to add :
 * - the Intel specification.
 * - correct a bug because my prom programmer don't understand the
 * initial format. Y suspect a bug in the calcul of the lrc
 * in the original program.
 * - correct the format of printf . In the original program, it was
 *   %x, and it is in fact %X, because in the Intel Format, all the
 * char are in upper case.
 * - correct the lrc calculation.
 * usage:
 *-------
 * this program read the standard input and put to the standard output
 * the result of the conversion.
 * an example of use :
 * cat my_bin | bin2intelhex > my_bin.hex or.....
 * bin2intelhex < my_bin > my_bin.hex

/* Intel Hex format specifications

The 8-bit Intel Hex File Format is a printable ASCII format consisting of one
 or more data records followed by an end of file record. Each
record consists of one line of information. Data records may appear in any
 order. Address and data values are represented as 2 or 4 hexadecimal
digit values. 

Record Format 
:LLAAAARRDDDD......DDDDCC 


LL
AAAA
RR
DD
CC
Length field. Number of data bytes.
Address field. Address of first byte.
Record type field. 00 for data and 01 for end of record.
Data field.
Checksum field. One's complement of length, address, record type and data
 fields modulo 256. 
CC = LL + AAAA + RR + all DD = 0

Example: 
:06010000010203040506E4 
:00000001FF 

The first line in the above example Intel Hex file is a data record addressed
 at location 100H with data values 1 to 6. The second line is the end
of file record, so that the LL field is 0
