OH251 Object-HEX Converter

The OH251 Object-HEX converter creates Intel HEX files or Intel HEX-386 files from absolute OMF251 object modules. Absolute object modules (files) may be created by the following:

• The L251 Code-Banking Linker,
• The A251 Macro Assembler.

Intel HEX files are ASCII files that contain a hexadecimal representation of your program. They may be easily loaded into a device programmer for writing EPROMs or other memory devices.

Several utilities are available that may help you with your HEX files:

• HEX2BIN converts an Intel HEX file into a flat BINARY file.
• BIN2HEX converts a flat BINARY file into an Intel HEX file.

The following document provides additional information about the different output file formats.
