New! Hex-80 to Intel-Hex
I have a demo version of uVision2 V2.12 and it can only generate Hex-80 output files.Does anyone have any idea how to generate the Intel-hex or to convert the hex-80 to Intel-hex?

Hex-80 is Intel Hex!

(as opposed to Hex-386 - see the Utilities manual).

I have a similar question. I use the demo version (uV2) and successfully built the example. then I load the .hex result into GalepIII, but the hex looks like not correct. When I build again the example in my old Keil (not uVision 2) the hex file is working with Galep.

Is this the restriction in the demo that we cannot using the hex file result for programming the chips?

it said only restricted till 2K ??

For a full list of the Eval limitations, see
http://www.keil.com/demo/limits.htm

In particular, note that the Eval Linker will only ever produce an executable starting at 0x4000 - this is specifically to stop you getting a FREE tool for programming single-chip solutions!

Thanks for the explanation guys!
Keil makes good tools but it's a pity they're useless for an average, usually empty-pocketed student.

Well, Keil gives you a full Professional development environment - they don't expect to be selling it to individuals for "hobby" projects.

To be fair, you can produce worthwhile projects within the 2K limit - you just have to ensure that your target can cope with the code starting at 0x4000.

Have you enquired about educational deals? It's probably the sort of thing your University/college would buy - not individual students.
You wouldn't expect to have to buy your own oscilloscope or logic analyser, would you?
