    I am new to this series of microcontrollers and would like to know if the following is possible to accomplish on STR 9 series:

    1. My application has 3 parts to it:

    a. Main file that has all the operational code(hex)

    b. 2 script files (text files) that need to be converted into hex file and placed in two separate secondary flash segments. The main program should be able to read the script file memory by using a pointer to the start of the scripts location.

    Are there any tools available for this micro to convert a text file to hex (an array of bytes)? if not available, any hints?

    2. CAPS application provides to write 2 hex files (one in main flash and other in secondary flash) to be written to flash. Since I do not have the evaluation board, I would like to know if it is possible to program multiple banks of the flash in a sequential manner (one after the other providing start and end addresses) without erasing the bank just programmed.

    It would be convenient if you could let me know if 1 and 2 above can be accomplished and give me some tips.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind Regards.
