OBSEND

5.1

What OBSEND does for you

After your program has been assembled and linked to form a '.COD' file it needs to be sent on

to the place where it will be executed. Right now, your code is just stored as a file on a disk

where the target system can't get at it.

OBSEND is a general purpose utility for .COD files in various ways using various formats.

5.2

Invoking OBSEND

OBSEND follows the same standard formats as the rest of the assembler / linker; arguments

can be given from the command line, keyboard or response file. The general syntax is:

OBSEND <file>,<destination>[,<args>],<format>

where <file> is the name of the .COD file to be formatted (default extension .COD). If the

filename is not given on the command line, you're prompted at the keyboard with:

OBSEND

STMicroelectronics - Obsend - rel. .2.00

File to Send: test

Destination Type (<f>ile,<v>ideo): f

Final Object code Filename [test.fin]: test.s19

Object Format <ENTER>=Straight Binary, ...,

ST REC <2>, ST REC <4>: s

5.2.1

Destination type

can be "f" (file) or "v" (video). Only a single character is required.

5.2.2

Destination arguments

When the destination type is "f" (file) the argument <filename> tells OBSEND where to send

the code. The default suffix '.FIN' is assumed if none is given.

For example:

OBSEND test,f,image.s19,s

The command generates the file 'image.s19' containing the code from 'test.cod', in S-

record s format.

When the destination code is "v" (video), this field is void.
