Look at "unhunk" on Fish Disk 26.  It takes Amiga load files, processes
the hunks and collects them into code, initialized data, and uninitialized
data segments.  Ordinarily you will specify the starting Code address as
your ROM address, and let the initialized data get tucked in just after
the code; specify your RAM address for uninitialized data (usual caveats
apply for initialized data [constants] to be just that -- constants --
and to be copied into RAM if you expect change them).

A separate program (provided with unhunk) takes the output file, which
looks a lot like a UNIX a.out file, and outputs Motorola S-records.
If you need some other format, like Intel ':'-records, you can use
it as a model.  Doesn't split into even/odd ROMs, but many PROM programmers
do that for you, or you can make the S-record translator do that pretty
easily, I would think.

Good luck!  Cross-developing embedded code on the Amiga is pretty nice,
isn't it?
