    Hi,

    I would like to make an HEX file out of my program, so i would be able to burn it using the inDart's DataBlaze programmer. My app is fully writen in C-Cosmic, and i'm using the inDart enviorment.

    Does anyone knows how to do it?

    Thanks.

    Hi

    I hope you are able to generate .st7 or some other temporary file using compiler and linker.

    Cosmic compiler has 2 executables for conversion

    cvdwarf.exe and chex.exe

    1. Now generate x.elf using

    cvdwarf x.st7

    2.and using x.elf generate x.s19 ny calling

    chex x.elf

    Append these two steps in your makefile

    Hope this helps

    Regards,

    PraveenG

    Thanks,

    I have generated those 2 files, but the DataBlaze needs a *.hex file... what do i do in order to produce it?

    Hi,

    You need to change the format of the file to Motorola S19.

    on the Load File to Code Buffer Screen, change the format from the default Intel-Hex to Motorola S-Rec

    regards,

    Use chex as above but with the following options.

    chex -fi file.st7

    this will generate a intel hex file or

    chex -fm file.st7 will generate a s19 file (default).

    this needs to be added to your makefile or build batch file.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Itamar,

    Remember that DataBlaze accepts .hex, .s19 and .bin files.

    Therefore if you have generated a .s19, as PraveenG suggested you, you can load it.

    Cheers,

    Nicola
