Hexmate
5.14.1 Hexmate Command Line Options
Some of these hexmate operations may be possible from the compiler’s command line driver. How-
ever, if hexmate is to be run directly, its usage is:
Where file1.hex through to fileN.hex are a list of input Intel hex files to merge using hexmate. Ad-
ditional options can be provided to further customize this process. Table
options that hexmate accepts.
values supplied to the hexmate options should be entered as hexadecimal values without leading 0x
or trailing h characters. Note also that any address fields specified in these options are to be entered
as byte addresses, unless specified otherwise in the -ADDRESSING option.
5.14.1.1 specifications,filename.hex
Intel hex files that can be processed by hexmate should be in either INHX32 or INHX8M format.
Additional specifications can be applied to each hex file to put restrictions or conditions on how this
file should be processed. If any specifications are used they must precede the filename. The list of
specifications will then be separated from the filename by a comma.
cause only the address data falling within this range to be used. For example:
