Secondary bootloader queries;

Hi,
I am looking for UART based secondary bootloader for LPC1768.
Please clarify the following queries:
When I am sending binary file from say UART, should I send .bin file or .hex file of the application code?
Should it be interpreted(.bin / .hex) and written to flash ? or should it be written as it is (as generated from IDE) into flash using IAP?

Please Help and guide..!

Thank you ..

  • Think about it: what is the difference between a ".bin" file and a ".hex" file?

    If you don't know, then google is your friend...

    From understanding the difference, you should be able to think of the advantages & disadvantages of each - and how they relate to your specific requirements.

    Only you know what is important/significant to your application...
