CHAPTER 6: HEX CONVERTER

CHAPTER 6 HEX CONVERTER

This chapter describes the functions of hex converter, hx63.

6.1 Functions

The hex converter hx63 converts an absolute object file in IEEE-695 format output from the linker into a hex file in Motorola-S format or Intel-HEX format. This conversion is needed when debugging the program with the ROM or when creating mask data using the mask data checker.

When creating the ROM-image hex data, the hex converter fills the unused area of each model with 0xff.

6.2.1 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: Binary file
File name: <File name>.par		(A path can also be specified.)

Description: File to specify the memory mapping information of each S1C63 Family model. This file is provided for each model and is commonly used with the linker and debugger.

6.2.2 Output Files

Hex file

File format: Text file in Motorola-S format or Intel-HEX format

File name: Motorola-S format	<File name>.hsa, <File name>.lsa and <File name>.csa
Intel-HEX format	<File name>h.hex, <File name>l.hex and <File name>c.hex
Output destination: Current directory

Description: Three hex files are generated: ".hsa" or "h.hex" that contains the five high-order bits of the object codes with 0b000 extended, ".lsa" or "l.hex" that contains the eight low- order bits and ".csa" or "c.hex" that contains four-bit data for the data ROM.

Motorola-S format files are delivered by default. Intel-HEX format files can be specified using the -i option.

Error file

File format: Text file File name: hx63.err

Output destination: Current directory

Description: The file is created if the -e start-up option is specified. It records information that the hex converter outputs to the Standard Output (stdout), such as error messages. The file name is "hx63.err" by default, but it can be changed using the -o start-up option.
