The newer versions of gcc no longer allows tentative definitions by default (although it's in the 'C' standard). This basically means that when a variable is defined in common.h and a 'C' source it'll put two distinct ones in BSS, which will barf the link editor. If that's not basic enough, you'll get double definition errors when it links. The solution is to add the -lcommon flag to the gcc COMPILER options, which makes it merge tentative definitions like it should in 'C' (but not in 'C++).

To get a warning, after this line in hex2bin.c, /* Set the lowest address as base pointer. */ if (Phys_Addr < Lowest_Address) Lowest_Address = Phys_Addr; put this: if (Phys_Addr + Nb_Bytes -1 > 65535) if (Verbose_Flag) fprintf(stderr,"Warning: data record wrap around 64k\n");

Thanks for your post. It's indeed not doing it correctly and srecord does it right according to the Intel Hex spec. I suppose most generators would produce correct Intel Hex without resorting to the wrap around trick. After a quick check, a fix for this may be a bit long to do. If this is a show stopper for programming a specific binary, let me know.

Thanks! The errors can be corrected by declaring extern all the variables in header files. Didn't check with GCC 10, but it should do the trick. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gcc_10_porting_notes/fno_common This will be corrected in the next release.

It would not be possible without splitting the hex file. Padding can't be turned off. Another solution would be that your chip programmer can take hex files directly. Many EEPROM programmers can skip programming a byte if its value is FF. This value is the default value in an erased EEPROM.

if you downloaded Hex2bin-2.5.tar.bz2, the .exe files are in bin/Debug and bin/Release There is no installer for Windows, you can simply copy them manually in a convenient location. There should be no change for Windows 10. I didn't tested it, I don't have Windows 10. I introduced a batch parameter: -b a while ago. Your command may work with the -b added: cmd/c:\foldername\hex2bin -b c:\foldername\temp.hex

I have dowloaded the latest hex2bin file converter. However it did not nclude a .exe file or some other way to install it on my windows PC. So how do i get it installed ? second question, how do i programatically incorporate the hex2bin in my labview program to convert a .hex file into a .bn file in the same folder ? Under windows XP, the complete command looked as follows --> cmd/c:|foldername\hex2bin c:\foldername\temp.hex where "cmd c" was added (per labview) in front of the above "batch command"...

HEX2BIN - I have an application where my assembler source jumps from $4000 to $8000. I do not want padding in between these addresses. Is there a way to turn off padding?

The options allows you to place the checksum at a specified address, so you can put it where you want. Do a test file, test it with the options to get it right. You can specify the range of the CRC calculation, so that the result won't overwrite the data. A trick would be to reserve some bytes for your checksum which will be in the hex file. Then, hex2bin can calculate the checksum and place it at the specified place.

This can be done in the current version by allowing extra empty bytes in your hex file for the CRC/Checksum. You specify the range from begin to last byte, and force following byte(s) to the checksum. hex2bin -r (begin) (last byte) -f (CRC/cheksum location)

Thanks for this great tool! Does the tool as-is support a way to prepend or append the computed checksum or CRC value to the resultant output file? Current options seem to want to place the checksum somewhere in the same range of the binary data derived from the hex file, thus overwriting some of that data. "Modify it to do that yourself" is a perfectly valid answer; I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing or misunderstanding something.
