+/*
+ * kk_ihex.h: A simple library for reading and writing the Intel HEX 
+ * or IHEX format. Intended mainly for embedded systems, and thus
+ * somewhat optimised for size at the expense of error handling and
+ * generality.
+ *
+ *      USAGE
+ *      -----
+ *
+ * The library has been split into read and write parts, which use a
+ * common data structure (`struct ihex_state`), but each can be used
+ * independently. Include the header `kk_ihex_read.h` for reading, and/or
+ * the header `kk_ihex_write.h` for writing (and link with their respective
+ * object files). Both can be used simultaneously - this header defines
+ * the shared data structures and definitions.
+ *
+ *
+ *      READING INTEL HEX DATA
+ *      ----------------------
+ *
+ * To read data in the Intel HEX format, you must perform the actual reading
+ * of bytes using other means (e.g., stdio). The bytes read must then be
+ * passed to `ihex_read_byte` and/or `ihex_read_bytes`. The reading functions
+ * will then call `ihex_data_read`, at which stage the `struct ihex_state`
+ * structure will contain the data along with its address. See the header
+ * `kk_ihex_read.h` for details and example implementation of `ihex_data_read`.
+ *
+ * The sequence to read data in IHEX format is:
+ *      struct ihex_state ihex;
+ *      ihex_begin_read(&ihex);
+ *      ihex_read_bytes(&ihex, my_input_bytes, length_of_my_input_bytes);
+ *      ihex_end_read(&ihex);
+ *
+ *
+ *      WRITING BINARY DATA AS INTEL HEX
+ *      --------------------------------
+ *
+ * In order to write out data, the `ihex_write_at_address` or
+ * `ihex_write_at_segment` functions are used to set the data location,
+ * and then the binary bytes are written with `ihex_write_byte` and/or
+ * `ihex_write_bytes`. The writing functions will then call the function
+ * `ihex_flush_buffer` whenever the internal write buffer needs to be
+ * cleared - it is up to the caller to provide an implementation of
+ * `ihex_flush_buffer` to do the actual writing. See the header
+ * `kk_ihex_write.h` for details and an example implementation.
+ *
+ * See the declaration further down for an example implementation.
+ *
+ * The sequence to write data in IHEX format is:
+ *      struct ihex_state ihex;
+ *      ihex_init(&ihex);
+ *      ihex_write_at_address(&ihex, 0);
+ *      ihex_write_bytes(&ihex, my_data, length_of_my_data);
+ *      ihex_end_write(&ihex);
+ *
+ * For outputs larger than 64KiB, 32-bit linear addresses are output. Normally
+ * the initial linear extended address record of zero is NOT written - it can
+ * be forced by setting `ihex->flags |= IHEX_FLAG_ADDRESS_OVERFLOW` before
+ * writing the first byte.
+ *
+ * Gaps in the data may be created by calling `ihex_write_at_address` with the
+ * new starting address without calling `ihex_end_write` in between.
+ *
+ *
+ * The same `struct ihex_state` may be used either for reading or writing,
+ * but NOT both at the same time. Furthermore, a global output buffer is
+ * used for writing, i.e., multiple threads must not write simultaneously
+ * (but multiple writes may be interleaved).
+ *
+ *
+ *      CONSERVING MEMORY
+ *      -----------------
+ *
+ * For memory-critical use, you can save additional memory by defining
+ * `IHEX_LINE_MAX_LENGTH` as something less than 255. Note, however, that
+ * this limit affects both reading and writing, so the resulting library
+ * will be unable to read lines with more than this number of data bytes.
+ * That said, I haven't encountered any IHEX files with more than 32
+ * data bytes per line. For write only there is no reason to define the
+ * maximum as greater than the line length you'll actually be writing,
+ * e.g., 32 or 16.
+ *
+ * If the write functionality is only occasionally used, you can provide
+ * your own buffer for the duration by defining `IHEX_EXTERNAL_WRITE_BUFFER`
+ * and providing a `char *ihex_write_buffer` which points to valid storage
+ * for at least `IHEX_WRITE_BUFFER_LENGTH` characters from before the first
+ * call to any IHEX write function to until after the last.
+ *
+ * If you are doing both reading and writing, you can define the maximum
+ * output length separately as `IHEX_MAX_OUTPUT_LINE_LENGTH` - this will
+ * decrease the write buffer size, but `struct ihex_state` will still
+ * use the larger `IHEX_LINE_MAX_LENGTH` for its data storage.
+ *
+ * You can also save a few additional bytes by disabling support for
+ * segmented addresses, by defining `IHEX_DISABLE_SEGMENTS`. Both the
+ * read and write modules need to be build with the same option, as the
+ * resulting data structures will not be compatible otherwise. To be honest,
+ * this is a fairly pointless optimisation.
+ *
+ *
+ * Copyright (c) 2013-2015 Kimmo Kulovesi, http://arkku.com/

+/*
+ * kk_ihex_read.h: A simple library for reading Intel HEX data. See
+ * the accompanying kk_ihex_write.h for IHEX write support.
+ *
+ *
+ *      READING INTEL HEX DATA
+ *      ----------------------
+ *
+ * To read data in the Intel HEX format, you must perform the actual reading
+ * of bytes using other means (e.g., stdio). The bytes read must then be
+ * passed to `ihex_read_byte` and/or `ihex_read_bytes`. The reading functions
+ * will then call `ihex_data_read`, at which stage the `struct ihex_state`
+ * structure will contain the data along with its address. See below for
+ * details and example implementation of `ihex_data_read`.
+ *
+ * The sequence to read data in IHEX format is:
+ *      struct ihex_state ihex;
+ *      ihex_begin_read(&ihex);
+ *      ihex_read_bytes(&ihex, my_input_bytes, length_of_my_input_bytes);
+ *      ihex_end_read(&ihex);
+ *
+ *
+ *      CONSERVING MEMORY
+ *      -----------------
+ *
+ * For memory-critical use, you can save additional memory by defining
+ * `IHEX_LINE_MAX_LENGTH` as something less than 255. Note, however, that
+ * this limit affects both reading and writing, so the resulting library
+ * will be unable to read lines with more than this number of data bytes.
+ * That said, I haven't encountered any IHEX files with more than 32
+ * data bytes per line.
+ *

+// passed as `type`. The `ihex` structure will have its fields `data`,
+// `line_length`, `address`, and `segment` set appropriately. In case
+// of reading an `IHEX_EXTENDED_LINEAR_ADDRESS_RECORD` or an
+// `IHEX_EXTENDED_SEGMENT_ADDRESS_RECORD` the record's data is not
+// yet parsed - it will be parsed into the `address` or `segment` field
+// only if `ihex_data_read` returns `true`. This allows manual handling
+// of extended addresses by parsing the `ihex->data` bytes.
+//
+// Possible error cases include checksum mismatch (which is indicated
+// as an argument), and excessive line length (in case this has been
+// compiled with `IHEX_LINE_MAX_LENGTH` less than 255) which is indicated
+// by `line_length` greater than `length`. Unknown record types and
+// other erroneous data is usually silently ignored by this minimalistic
+// parser. (It is recommended to compute a hash over the complete data
+// once received and verify that against the source.)
+//

+//
