Hex Conversion Utility Description - Texas Instruments TMS320C54x User Manual

10.2 Invoking the Hex Conversion Utility
There are two basic methods for invoking the hex conversion utility:
-
Specify the options and filenames on the command line. The following
example converts the file firmware.out into TI-Tagged format, producing
two output files, firm.lsb and firm.msb.
–t firmware –o firm.lsb –o firm.msb
hex500
-
Specify the options and filenames in a command file. You can create
a batch file that stores command line options and filenames for invoking
the hex conversion utility. The following example invokes the utility using
a command file called hexutil.cmd:
hex500 hexutil.cmd
In addition to regular command line information, you can use the hex
conversion utility ROMS and SECTIONS directives in a command file.
To invoke the hex conversion utility, enter:
hex500 [ –options ] filename
hex500 is the command that invokes the hex conversion utility.
–options supplies additional information that controls the hex conversion
process. You can use options on the command line or in a com-
mand file.
-
All options are preceded by a dash and are not case sensi-
tive.
-
Several options have an additional parameter that must be
separated from the option by at least one space.
-
Options with multicharacter names must be spelled exactly
as shown in this document; no abbreviations are allowed.
-
Options are not affected by the order in which they are used.
The exception to this rule is the –q option, which must be
used before any other options.
filename names a COFF object file or a command file (for more informa-
tion on command files, see Section 10.3, Command Files , on
page 10-7).
