Hi, I am working on the debugger development of 8051 target.To design the debugger I need to extract debug info from the absolute file(without extn) generated by bl51.The absolute file is in the form of Intel OMF 51 & and I am not able to relate the absolute file with the OMF51 format specified by Intel.Can anyone please help me?
Keil tells us the OMF follows the standard and even gives a link to the spec in:
http://www.keil.com/support/docs/93.htm
But you are right, the Keil OMF does not follow the standard OMF format. When asked, Keil claims proprietary information.
It's just good business practice to sell the crop, not the seed.
Thanks alot for your reply. But can you tell me any other way out to explore the Absoulute file for debug info
If this is a bona fide development, then you should contact Keil and seek to negotiate a suitable commercial agreement...
