Hi all, can anybody guide me for a good utility (c6x) for coff (.out) to binary file (.bin). What exactly the difference between .hex file and .bin file. Is there any tool to convert hex file generated by hex6x conversion utility, to binary file. For firmware upgradation, to send the new image to dsp and burn onto flash, which format is well suited one. Thanks in advance. __________________________________ |

neeli bhaskar reddy,
The hex6x.exe utility [runs from a 'DOS' prompt] may do it.
Newer versions of hex6x [mine is 5.0] seem to have an undocumented
'-b' option that creates a binary image.
If your version of CCS doesn't support it, it is fairly easy to
convert the 'hex' files to binary. The hex files are in readable
ASCII with leading addresses and trailing checksums. see help file for
details.

Hi, If the secret -b switch doesnt work in your version... try this: First create the .hex using the hex6x.exe second: use the attached hex2bin.exe for the conversion from hex to bin. In my project it seems to work fine. I think that you can find tools like that on the internet... call: hex2bin anything.hex anything.bin bye, thomas > neeli bhaskar reddy, > > The hex6x.exe utility [runs from a 'DOS' prompt] may do it.

Thanks, Surprised to see that, -b option is available with hex6x. It was nowhere documented, i dont know why. hex2bin utility is also good.
