S-Record Files

When an application is encoded in a single module and all the sections are absolute sections, the user can decide to generate directly an ELF absolute file instead of an object file. In that case an S-Record File is generated at the same time. This file can be burnt into an EPROM. It contains information stored in all the READ_ONLY sections in the application. The extension for the generated S-Record File depends on the setting from the SRECORD: S-Record type environment variable.

• If SRECORD = S1, the S-Record File gets the *.s1 extension.
• If SRECORD = S2, the S-Record File gets the *.s2 extension.
• If SRECORD = S3, the S-Record File gets the *.s3 extension.
• If SRECORD is not set, the S-Record File gets the *.sx extension.

This file is written to the directory given in the ABSPATH environment variable. If that variable contains more than one path, the S-Record File is written in the first directory given; if this variable is not set at all, the S-Record File is written in the directory the source file was found.
