RE: SREC question

The S5 field is optional.  objcopy doesn't seem to have any option to force it's generation.  On the other hand, a filter to add an S5 record wouldn't be very difficult.

Subject: SREC question


Hi,

I have a question about how to use the SREC format. When i look in the
specification then i can see that there are 10 different options for
valid rows in a srec file (S0-S9). One of these (S5) is used to keep
track of how many S1, S2 and S3 that has been parsed before this S5
line. I found this very nice since every row calculate its own checksum
and this now checks so that we dont loose any row. However, when i
convert my application from ELF to SREC with objcopy then i can't find
any S5 located in created SREC file. Why is that? Have I missed some
option while creating the file?

Regards, Daniel Lidsten
