Bin size is larger than Hex File

Dear All,
I am new to Microcontrollers, I created a Hex file(751 bytes), but when i start burning- my microcontroller software tool shows 2297 bytes. How this is possible??
Whats wrong here....

I am trying to burn 2kb memory Microcontroller, burning ends with error...

How to lower Programming bytes(bin file extracted from hex file)??

  • Per,

    While you certainly make a good point, I'm saying that:
    1. I have a licensed product so I never tried this myself - but it sounds like a limitation that is actually not too hard to circumvent, so what's the point.
    2. Every application, certainly the extremely low cost ones, is unique but the cost of processors has dropped so much that one could either forget the tool-chain and go GCC eclipse only because the evaluation failed. This measure could actually cause more damage than good !
