How to convert a hex file to a binary file?

Intel HEX to BINARY File Converter Utility This utility program creates a BINARY file from an Intel HEX file. You can use BINARY files with most EPROM programmers and you can easily use them for CRC or checksum calculations. Options for this utility program are listed below:

What do you need to know about Intel hex2bin?

Intel Hex2Bin. A program that transforms any intel hex format file to binary file. This program allocates the memory dynamically, that’s why it’s able to generate as many .bin files as needed by the .hex file respecting the maximum size indicated by the user.

Where can I download the Hex converter utility?

You can download it from https://sourceforge.net/projects/srecord/files/srecord-win32. Please see the following knowledgebase articles how HEX and BINARY files can be converted, merged and split using the srec_cat utility together with Keil microcontroller development tools.

How to load data from an Intel HEX format file?

To load data from an Intel HEX format file I used several functions, open_file () to create a data stream, more commonly know as a file pointer, from the file I wanted to read. And hex_file_to_array (), to parse the hex file and extract the data.

How does the HEX file to array function work?

23: We pass hex_file_to_array a file pointer and pointer to an an array. This function reads the hex file, parses it, extracting the data and placing them into the the uint8_t array based on the data’s address found in the hexfile. The function then returns the number of data bytes found in the hex file.

When to use ihex2bin on Intel HEX files?

When using ihex2bin on Intel HEX files produced by compilers and such, it is a good idea to specify the command-line option -A to autodetect the address offset. Otherwise the program will simply fill any unused addresses, starting from 0, with zero bytes, which may total mega- or even gigabytes.
