We just found a similar problem developing our Atmel 89C5x and 89Cx051 programmer (Kit 123). We found that the C Compiler was NOT writing the hex file in contiguous blocks. Thus Hyperterminal and any other terminal program could choke. So we have written two DOS based programs: 1. hexmap.exe - prints a memory map of a .HEX file. Useful for seeing all the different blocks of addresses that make up a .HEX file. Typing 'hexmap' by itself prints a short description. 2. reorder.exe - re-orders all the different memory blocks of a .HEX file into one continuous block. reorder fixed the problem. I can send to anyone who wants them. (I would put them on my website but my ISP - prowebsite.com - has crashed with router problems and I cannot ftp.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2000 14:02:13 +080 From: Peter Grey Subject: Re: [OT] terminal program MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" At 10:22 PM 2/21/00 -0600, you wrote: Thanks for this.
