QUESTION

Is there a utility to sort Intel HEX files so that the records are written in ascending order?

ANSWER

Yes. A product called the HEX Workshop is available from www.bpsoft.com. They offer an evaluation version that you may download from their web site.

To create an ordered HEX file...

1. Import the existing HEX file.
2. Export the file as Intel HEX to a new filename. The resulting file will be ordered by address.
