I'm sitting here analyzing the Ride7 generated hex file (intel hex32 format) because I'm going to make a bootloader.

What does this row do?

:04000005080021309E

It breaks up to these:

: Start code

04 Byte count: 4

0000 Address

05 Record type: Start Linear Address Record

08002130 <--- is this a start address?

9E Checksum

Does it say the execution start address is 0x08002130?

Just curious. I don't think I need to decode this record type for extracting the FLASH memory map.
