The SRecord package is a collection of powerful tools for manipulating EPROM load files.
I wrote SRecord because when I was looking for programs to manipulate EPROM load files, I could not find very many. The ones that I could find only did a few of the things I needed. SRecord is written in C++ and polymorphism is used to provide the file format flexibility and arbitrary filter chaining. Adding more file formats and filters is relatively simple, see the Reference Manual. -- Peter Miller (original author of SRecord)
The SRecord package understands a number of file formats:
