copied!<p>I note that nowhere in your description do you ask for "ease of programming". :-)</p> <p>Thus, here's what comes to mind for me as a way of creating this:</p> <ul> <li><p>The data should be in the same on-disk format as it would be in the target's memory, such that it can simply pull blobs from disk into memory with no reformatting it. Depending on how much freedom you want in putting things into memory, the "blobs" could be the whole file, or could be smaller bits within it; I don't understand your data well enough to suggest how to subdivide it but presumably you can. Because we can't rely on the same endianness and alignment on the host, you'll need to be somewhat clever about translating things when writing the files on the host-side, but at least this way you only need the cleverness on one side of the transfer rather than on both.</p></li> <li><p>In order to provide a bit of assurance that the target-side and host-side code matches, you should write this in a form where you provide a single data description and have some generation code that will generate both the target-side C code and the host-side Python code from it. You could even have your generator generate a small random "version" number in the process, and have the host-side code write this into the file header and the target-side check it, and give you an error if they don't match. (The point of using a random value is that the only information bit you care about is whether they match, and you don't want to have to increment it manually.)</p></li> </ul>
