This documentation describe how to use HEXBIN.EXE under your computer DOS command prompt. There are some functions to be added in this version(V2.2). 1.Three types of HEX format file can be converted to BIN file I : INTEL HEX format(BYTE oriented) M : MOTOROLA S HEX format(BYTE oriented) T : TEKTRONICS HEX format(BYTE oriented) Max. converted size is 64 K bytes New converter file HEXBIN2.EXE can convert INTEL,MOTOROLA extended hex format file. Maximum convertion size 256K bytes. 4th parameter for starting address can be specified on HEXBIN2, and the leading garbage will be skip out to maintain a small size of output binary file 2.The parameter to be answered in prompt mode can be directly typed in one DOS command line as follow. A>HEXBIN [HEX FILE NAME] [BIN FILE NAME] [HEX FORMAT] EX.: HEXBIN DEMO.HEX DEMO.BIN I [] : means option 3.This program still can be used in prompt mode as follow. HEX FILE NAME :DEMO.HEX BIN FILE NAME :DEMO.BIN HEX FORMAT (INTEL MOTOROLA TEKTRONICS) :I 4.Two DOS command utility can be used as follow. A>HEXBIN < KEY.IN or A>TYPE KEY.IN | HEXBIN KEY.IN is a text file edited by any text editer(EDLIN,WS). for ex.: DEMO.HEX DEMO.BIN I : cariage return key REVISION BOARD : 1. The program name of HEX TO BIN converter had beed changed from HEXOBJ to HEXBIN. We want to distinguish the deference between ROM BASE BINARY FILE from any other RELOCATABLE OBJ FILE. HEX file : This file is an ASCII character type file which describe BYTE COUNT,ADDRESS,DATA,CHECK SUM. and can be displayed by TYPE command. Almost every assembler or linker can produce this kind of file. BIN file : The HEX file will be converted to ROM BASE BINARY file BY HEXBIN.EXE. This file is a binary type file which describe only DATA byte by byte. Address of 1st byte begin from 0000H. and can be displayed by DUMP.EXE(supported by us). Some assembler or linker can produce this kind of file. NOTE : The file (.obj or .exe) produced by MASM or LINK can not be used as an ROM BASE BINARY file.
