hex and intel hex
2005-08-12 by Anurag Chugh
hi all
i wanted to know if anyone had hand assembled a
program some time in his life?...
i had this listing (op codes) like as
follows:
C3 00 01 FF FF FF CD 50 01 C3 0A 01 FF FF FF
FF
4E C3 50 00 CD BF 00 D3 C1 CD BF 00 C3 06 00 FF
4E C3 50 00 CD BF 00 D3 C1 CD BF 00 C3 06 00 FF
i got it from like an article in some very old
magazines...
so i typed it into text file...
and it took me an hour experimenting with microsoft
excel to get the intel hex file format:
:10000000C30001FFFFFFCD5001C30A01FFFFFFFF4747
:100010004EC35000CDBF00D3C1CDBF00C30600FF0B0B
:100010004EC35000CDBF00D3C1CDBF00C30600FF0B0B
but me and my friends finally figured out the way
how to do it using the formula functions in excel...
thats because we were pretty lazy to write a c/c++
program to open text file containing simple staright ascii hex file
and convert it to ascii format
(one of us had hand calculated the checksums .. and
obviously since the program was so long ... we made errors!!)
so i wanted to know... has any one encountered a
program to convert a simple ascii file to intel hex?
thanking all in advance..
cheers!!
