The Intel OMF-51 Format


Intel has published a detailed specification of their OMF-51 object module format. The last version 5.0 has been released in September 1982. Since OMF-51 has always been an open standard, the original documents are still available from Intel and some mirror sites:

They are provided in a very old, unknown text format, probably an ancient version of Microsoft Word for DOS. However, I got a fair print-out with Microsoft Word 97. Linux users can print them with Applixware Office. If you fail to print or view the original files, you can read them online. I have converted them to HTML as good as possible:

Generic Cover Letter for MCS-51 OMF EPS
External Product Specification for the MCS-51 Object Module Format

Furthermore, I have found a PDF version on the net.
(The conversion wasn't quite perfect though.)
