CHAPTER 7: HEX CONVERTER
CHAPTER 7HEX CONVERTER
This chapter will describe the functions of Hex Converter hx62.

7.1 Functions

Hex Converter hx62 converts an absolute object file in IEEE-695 format output from the linker into a hex
file in Intel-HEX format or Motorola-S format. This conversion is needed when debugging the program
with the ROM or when creating mask data using the mask data checker provided for each model.
When creating the ROM-image hex data, the hex converter fills the unused area of each model with 0xff.

7.2.1 Input Files

Absolute object file
File format: Binary file in IEEE-695 format
File name: <File name>.abs (A path can also be specified.)
Description: Absolute object file created by the linker.
ICE parameter file ∗ This file must always be specified.
File format: Text file
File name: <File name>.par (A path can also be specified.)
Description: File to specify the memory mapping information of each S1C62 Family model. This
file is supplied in the development tools for each model and is commonly used with
the linker, debugger and disassembler.

7.2.2 Output Files

Hex fileFile format: Text file in Intel-HEX or Motorola-S format
File name: Intel-HEX format <File name>h.hex and <File name>l.hex
Motorola-S format <File name>.hsa and <File name>.lsa
Output destination: Current directory
Description: Two hex files are generated: one ("h.hex" or ".hsa") contains the four high-order bits
of the object codes with 0b0000 extended and the other ("l.hex" or ".lsa") contains
the eight low-order bits. Intel-HEX format files are delivered by default. Motorola-S
format files can be specified using the -m option.
Error file
File format: Text file
File name: <File name>.err
Output destination: Current directory
Description: File that is delivered when the start-up option (-e) is specified. It records information
that the hex converter outputs to the Standard Output (stdout), such as error
messages.
