Hex File Error??

Jeff Rosenberg

After a considerable amount of effort, I have found a problem that
can be traced back to the hex file generated by the Keil C compiler.
The hex file seems to meet the Intel hex file specification, but it is
incorrectly translated into a binary file by several translation programs.
( One EPROM emulator utility and an EPROM programmer software
package.)

The following is the first part of the hex file generated by the compiler
version 1.32.

The locations of the code sections are:

hex file addr binary file addr
4C39-4C63 0C39-0C63 wrong
3EAC-3F82 1EAC-1F82 wrong
000B-000D correct
4943-498D correct

One translator seemed to work when the tiny code section at
0x000B was moved to the beginning of the hex file.

Any ideas or comments will be appreciated.
