2005-12-19 by Sanjiwani

Hi Everyone

 

I have written a program in cross works & generated hex file.

But By mistake I have opened that file in Notepad.

Now if, I change content of hex file (Data) Directly & load that hex file
in Flash using LPC2000 Flash utility

It Gives an error

 

Error is: Unsupported Hex File Type

 

 

Can Anybody help me to solve this Problem

I asume you dont have the sources andd cannot compile a new hex.
This raises severe doubts that opening the file with notepad was a mistake.
anyhow

1.make a copy of an original hex file.
2.Open the file with notepad
3.Do a bitwise compare

I asume the byte order mark got changed, but you will see the difference 
immeadetly.

Cheers
Michael

It's not a good idea to edit hex files, they have checksums for each record 
(line). You must have changed it in some way. If you must do it, it's best 
to convert it to raw ASCII hex, edit it, and convert it back to Intel hex or 
whatever the format is. It's quite easy to write simple programs to these 
conversions, you just need the format details.

Might be as simple as Notepad changed CR to CR/LF.

Hi Umang..

Thanks for your reply.

Basically I am New in this Field.
And I am working on LPC for the First time.

Problem which I was facing was solved.
Actually I was doing a very simple mistake.
I was changing data, directly in hex file but was not updating checksum for
same.
