Can LOAD file to a specified memory area ?

The command "SAVE" can be used to save a specified memory to hex file. So, my question is that there is any command for loading a file into a specified memory area?
For example, I have a hex file, I want to write it into external memory from 0x0100 to 0x0200. The website http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/uv3/uv3_cm_load.htm is about command "LOAD", but it seem can not load file into a specified memory.

Thank you for helping.

Best Regard.

 RE: Can LOAD file to a specified memory area ?

The Hex file from Save includes address information - so that Load will put it back where it came from.

If you want to Load it to somewhere else, you will have to edit the Hex file to change the addresses...

You mean, if I SAVE to SIM1.hex from a specified memory 0~0x1000 at first, then use LOAD will cause SIM1.hex load into 0~0x1000, because the hex file already include address information by SAVE. Is that your meaning ?

How can I LOAD SIM1.hex into 0x0300~0x2000 not 0~0x1000 ?

However if I did LOAD hex file without address information at first, it will cause a error ?

Actually, I want to find a way out that I can load(read) my own bin file into a data memory area I defined, and maybe the bin file just include some raw data.

Another question is that, from http://www.keil.com/support/docs/2397.htm, where is definition of S:, T:, U:, and V: ?

After testing, I already know that S:/T:/U:/V: are specified memory name with start and end address, and it seems that I must give name as S/T/U/V.

Thank you for helping.

Correct.

"How can I LOAD SIM1.hex into 0x0300~0x2000 not 0~0x1000 ?"

As I said, you would have to edit the Hex file.

Do you understand how Intel Hex files work?
There is a description here: http://www.keil.com/support/docs/1584.htm

The Hex file contains both data and the addresses at which to place that data.

"if I did LOAD hex file without address information"

There is no such thing - see above.

"Actually, I want to find a way out that I can load(read) my own bin file"

I don't think uVision supports loading BIN files - you can check in the Manual.

But you can convert a BIN file to HEX - see the links in the page I cited earlier.

"where is definition of S:, T:, U:, and V: ?"

It tells you they are user-defined - so you define them!

There are ready-made tools available for this purpose - some of them are even available for free, like "srecord". They can also do the address manipulation for you.

 HEX2BIN and BIN2HEX

"There are ready-made tools available for this purpose - some of them are even available for free"

And some included with the Keil tools!
Of course, the Link describes the Keil ones.

Thank you very much, Andy.

I had used BIN2HEX to convert the bin file to be a hex file, and I LOAD it into memory in uVision2 command window successfully.

But it got a error while loading the hex file with big size. I set the starting address is 0x3000, and the hex file size is around 10MB. uVision2 feedback a error message "error 57: illegal address:0x00FFFF".

I guess it is that loading 10MB hex file get over 64KB address defintion, because loading 3KB hex file doesn't.

How can I solve it?

BR,

 Well, obviously...

"I guess it is that loading 10MB hex file get over 64KB address defintion"

Of course it does!

"How can I solve it?"

Don't attempt to load files that are too big!!
