111 both the starting target memory address and the length of the area to dump need 111
112 to be aligned to 128 bytes. 112 The 128 byte alignment requirement of previous versions has been lifted; you
113 113 can now dump as little as one byte without any alignment restrictions. In the
114 dump2srec is deprecated, please use dump2bin instead. If you do use dump2srec, 114 case of dump2srec the output file will be written with 32 bytes of payload per
115 the S-record image will be written with 128 bytes of payload per record (270 115 S3 record, with the last record carrying from 1 to 32 bytes of payload as
116 ASCII characters per line), which is significantly longer records than most 116 needed.
