22.11 Intel Hex Format (Binary)
For the following two commands, the Intel Hex format is used in part of the transfer format:
-
Flash memory write command (0x30)
-
RAM loader command (0x60)
For information on the definition of the Intel Hex format, refer to
Table 22-20.Data is in binary form. The start mark ":" must be transmitted as binary data of 0x3A.
1. After receiving the checksum of each data record, the TMP89FM42 goes into a wait state and awaits the
arrival of the start mark (0x3A ":") of the next data record. Although the external controller transmits data
other than 0x3A between records, the TMP89FM42 ignores such data when it is in this wait state.
2. The external controller must be provisioned so that after it transmits the checksum of end record, it goes into
a wait state and does not transmit any data until the arrival of 3-byte data (overwrite detection, upper and
lower bytes of the checksum). (3-byte data is used if the flash memory write command is used. If the RAM
loader command is used, the external controller awaits the arrival of 2-byte data, or upper and lower bytes of
the checksum.)
3. If a receiving error or Intel Hex format error occurs, the TMP89FM42 goes into an idle state without returning
an error code to the external controller. The Intel Hex format error occurs in the following cases:
-
If the record type is other than 00h, 01h, or 02h
-
If a checksum error of the Intel Hex format occurs
-
If the data length of an extended record (record type = 0x02) is not 0x02
-
If the TMP89FM42 receives the data record after receiving an extended record (record type = 0x02)
whose segment address is more than 0x2000
-
I the data length of the end record (record type = 0x01) is not 0x00
-
If the offset address of an extended record (record type = 0x02) is not 0x0000
