Is there any way to add a resource file or version number to a hex file

Peter Kelly

Hi,

I am compiling my firmware (hex) files using uVison2 and I was wondering is there any way to add a version number or resource file to this project so that when I right click on them in a windows environment that I can see version number or other information as I can do if I create a windows dll.

Thanks

    There's a Revision Number field as part of the standard Windows meta-data.

    Close, but no cigar. Those meta-data only exist for files stored on NTFS drives. This means it's not really a standard Windows feature. Among other things, these meta-data get lost as soon as you transfer the file in any way that involves a non-NTFS file system, which severely limits their applicability to the problem at hand.
