Hexmate
5.15 Hexmate
The Hexmate utility is a program designed to manipulate Intel HEX files. Hexmate is a post-link
stage utility that provides the facility to:
Typical applications for hexmate might include:
180
Calculate and store variable-length checksum values
Fill unused memory locations with known data sequences
Merge multiple Intel hex files into one output file
Convert INHX32 files to other INHX formats (e.g. INHX8M)
Detect specific or partial opcode sequences within a hex file
Find/replace specific or partial opcode sequences
Provide a map of addresses used in a hex file
Change or fix the length of data records in a hex file.
Validate checksums within Intel hex files.
Merging a bootloader or debug module into a main application at build time
Calculating a checksum over a range of program memory and storing its value in program
memory or EEPROM
Filling unused memory locations with an instruction to send the PC to a known location if it
gets lost.
Storage of a serial number at a fixed address.
Storage of a string (e.g. time stamp) at a fixed address.
Store initial values at a particular memory address (e.g. initialise EEPROM)
Detecting usage of a buggy/restricted instruction
Adjusting hex file to meet requirements of particular bootloaders
