Hello .

A quick question..

I have developed a primitive bootloader for custom board, that is 
successfuly doing the board bringup and loads linux os image
currently through serial link (kermit) only.
network link is also likely to be up soon.

but through serial it loads  kernel image only in raw binary 
format.
now i want to extend this for s-record images as well..

I am umware that, how differently s-record image need to be 
handled..?
i just need some idea or if possible any example code for that..

Best Reagards,
Atul

Have you tried looking at binutils? objcopy can convert Binary<->S-Record

On second thoughts the binutils code is probably rather large. You could try the
pmon source

http://www.carmel.com/pmon/pmon.tgz

pmon/tools/rdsrec.c might do what you want.

I had a simular problem.  I ended up writing my own code for my
platform.  Here is a description of s-records:
