Is it true that some programmers require the hex file records to be arranged in ascending order according to their addresses? I faced a problem with a programmer, the software stopped writing to the chip at a certain line and gave an error. There was no problem with the hex file ( I used a simulator which takes the hex file as input, and it worked properly) Thanx..
Yep. This was true a long time ago. In fact, it may still be true, but I haven't heard of this on any contemporary programmers. Note that this is not a requirement of the Intel HEX specification. If needed, the following knowledgebase article tells how to sort HEX records. http://www.keil.com/support/docs/1236.htm Jon
