SRecord 1.36 for Win32

I use SRecord with 2-byte checksums. Works just fine.

If you are askin how to make the checksum 4 byte wide, the answer is you cannot. S1 and S2 records have a 1 byte checksum, S3 records have a 2 byte checksum. If you are trying to make a 4-byte long binary into an S record, consisting of 4 zeros, the correct checksum would be $ff (it is inverted after adding all the bytes). The address field is also included in the checksum, remember.

No, not the per line checksum that is part of the srecord file format. SRecord has the ability the insert a checksum in a blank area of the data, which can be used by firmware to validate an upload before placing it in flash for instance.

Vladimir, are you using the unix version (maybe with cygwin) or the native Win32 version?

I have long since lost the number of s-record read and write pieces I have written but I have no idea what you refer to. Seems your problem is not with the s-record but with the user interface of whatever you want to use.
