R Read Intel Hex File - Nice Z80+ Operation Manual

R - READ INTEL HEX FILE
Purpose
Loads an Intel Hex file into the target system RAM.
Format
A description of the format for an Intel Hex file is given in Appendix B. Two forms
of the command are allowed:
l. R - Loads the file directly into RAM at the location indicated by the Intel Hex
file.
2. R Offset - Adds the 16-bit offset value to the destination address prior to
loading the data into RAM. The last record of an Intel Hex file specifies the
program counter address and the offset is applied to this value as well. This
form is useful for downloading relocatable code.
Once
you enter the command, NICE only recognizes input
which
corresponds to an
Intel Hex file. Each record begins with a colon (:), so NICE looks for a colon at the
beginning of each record and ignores all other characters. This reduces NICE's
susceptibility to noise and allows you to switch to a different download device
following entry of the R command. As with the command line interpreter, all non-
control characters are reflected as they are received. Thus, you can confirm that
NICE received the correct sequence of characters.
NICE exits the command only at the end of the Hex file or when an error is
detected.
