µVISION: HEX OUTPUT FILE FOR A DEVICE PROGRAMMER

Information in this article applies to:

• µVision Version 2
• µVision Version 3

QUESTION

Do the Keil Tools provide Intel HEX output for a device programmer?

ANSWER

Yes all Keil tools can generate Intel HEX files. In µVision just enable the output under Project - Options for Target - Output - Create HEX File.

The final part of the make process is converting the linker-created absolute object file into an Intel HEX-format file that should be compatible with any device programmer.

If you do not build your projects with µVision, you need to run the Object HEX Converters (fore example OH51.EXE) after linking to convert the absolute object file produced by the linker into an Intel HEX file.
