Convert a MAC Address to Motorola S-Records

 in

If you do embedded programming you're probably familiar with Motorola S-Records. This following script takes a MAC Address and outputs S-Record data.

Given a MAC Address the script outputs S-Record data:

  # sh macid.sh 00:11:22:33:44:55
  S00D0000333737382D322E746D703B
  S1090000001122334455F7
  S9030000FC
Optionally, you can specify an address for re-basing the S-Record data and an output file name to write the S-Records to:
  # sh macid.sh --address 0xffff0000 --output ma 00:11:22:33:44:55
  # cat ma
  S00D0000333733302D322E746D7047
  S30BFFFF0000001122334455F7
  S705FFFF0000FC

The script follows:
#!/bin/bash

mac_addr_pattern='^[0-9a-fA-F]{2}[-:]'
mac_addr_pattern+='[0-9a-fA-F]{2}[-:]'
mac_addr_pattern+='[0-9a-fA-F]{2}[-:]'
mac_addr_pattern+='[0-9a-fA-F]{2}[-:]'
mac_addr_pattern+='[0-9a-fA-F]{2}[-:]'
mac_addr_pattern+='[0-9a-fA-F]{2}'

address_pattern='^(0x)?[0-9a-fA-F]{8}$'

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers

Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
