Hi, I use vVision3. Where can I find the .HEX file for programming after the building? Best Wishes Leo
does C166 default to .H86? Mine certainly does. Moreover, I've never been able to find a setting to change that. When I had to, I renamed the file from .H86 to .HEX by hand. Of course, it can be done automatically with the 'Run User Program After Make' feature. - mike
Yes, I have only .H86 file. I wonder why. Can this .H86 file be programmed into a microprocessor? Mike, you said you renamed the .H86 file into a .HEX file by hand, does this new .HEX file work? Should I input the DOS rename command in the 'Run User Program After Make' field? Best Wishes
Which C16x device variant do you actually use? Reinhard
Can this .H86 file be programmed into a microprocessor? Yes, it can. It is the HEX file you want. If you don't like the .H86 extension, you can input the DOS rename command into the 'Run User Program After Make' field. By the way, some ROM programmers don't like HEX files where data are not ordered, which is the case for Keil tools with default settings. You can instruct Keil tools to produce ordered HEX files by using the 'Flash fill byte' option, just set it to 0xFF. Regards, - mike
I need to elaborate on Mikes post: By the way, some ROM programmers made by people that ignored the standard don't like HEX files where data are not ordered. Caveat emptor You (often) get what you pay for. Erik
