4.4.2 Absolute Files

When an application is encoded in a single module and all the sections are

absolute sections, the user can decide to generate an absolute file instead of an

object file. This file is written to the directory given in the environment variable

ABSPATH. If that variable contains more than one path, the absolute file is

written in the first directory given. If this variable is not set, the absolute file is

written in the directory where the source file was found. Absolute files always

get the extension .abs.

4.4.3 Motorola S Files

When an application is encoded in a single module and all the sections are

absolute sections, the user can decide to generate an absolute file instead of an

object file. In that case, a Motorola S record file is generated at the same time.

This file can be burnt into an EPROM. It contains information stored in all

READ_ONLY sections in the application. The extension for the generated

Motorola S record file depends on the SRECORD variable setting.

For instance:

• If SRECORD = S1, the Motorola S record ﬁle gets the extension

.s1.

• If SRECORD = S2, the Motorola S record ﬁle gets the extension

.s2.

• If SRECORD = S3, the Motorola S record ﬁle gets the extension

.s3.

• If SRECORD is not set, the Motorola S record ﬁle gets the

extension .sx.

This file is written to the directory given in the environment variable ABSPATH.

If that variable contains more than one path, the motorola S file is written in the

first directory given. If this variable is not set, the file is written in the directory

the source file was found.
