NAME

Hex::Record - manipulate intel and srec hex records

SYNOPSIS

use Hex::Record;

# create your own hex records
my $hex_record = Hex::Record->new;

# write/overwrite 3 bytes starting at address 0x100
$hex_record->write(0x100, [qw(AA BB CC)]);

# or use the parser
use Hex::Record::Parser qw(parse_intel_hex parse_srec_hex);

my $hex_record = Hex::Record->new(
    parts => parse_intel_hex($intel_hex_record_as_string)
);

# get 100 bytes (hex format) starting at address 0x100
# every single byte that is not found is returned as undef
my $bytes_ref = $hex_record->get(0x100, 10);

# remove 100 bytes starting at address 0x100
$hex_record->remove(0x100, 10);

# dump as intel hex (will use extended linear addresses for offset)
# maximum of 10 bytes in data field
my $intel_hex_string = $hex_record->as_intel_hex(10);

# dump as srec hex (always tries to use smallest address)
# maximum of 10 bytes in data field
my $srec_hex_string = $hex_record->as_screc_hex(10);

DESCRIPTION

Manipulate intel/srec hex files.

Methods of Hex

get( $from, $count )

Returns $count hex bytes in array reference starting at address $from. If hex byte is not found, undef instead.

['AA', '00', undef, undef, 'BC', undef]
remove( $from, $count )

Removes $count bytes starting at address $from.

write( $from, $bytes_ref )

(Over)writes bytes starting at address $from with bytes in $bytes_ref.

as_intel_hex( $bytes_hex_a_line )

Returns a string containing hex bytes formated as intel hex. Extended linear addresses as offset are used if needed. Extended segment addresses are not supported.

as_srec_hex( $bytes_hex_a_line )

Returns a string containing hex bytes formated as srec hex. Maximum of $hytes_hex_a_line in data field. Tries to use the smallest address field.
