The following example shows how the Intel hex-32 format appears in the
loader's output file. Each line in the Intel hex-32 file contains an extended
linear address record, a data record, or the end-of-file record.
:
020000040000FA
:
0402100000FE03F0F9
:
00000001FF
Extended linear address records are used because data records have a
4-character (16-bit) address field, but in many cases, the required PROM
size is greater than or equal to
records specify bits 16-31 for the data records that follow.
Table A-2 shows an example of an extended linear address record.
