Hi Tony,

Yes -- it is something that should be expected -- it is perfectly legal
according to the Intel specification.
Any record length value from 0 to 255 decimal is fair game.

Regards,

Ken Pergola

Subject: [PIC]: HEX data fields


Hi all,

Has anyone seen 'odd' numbers of ROM data bytes in INHX32 files.

I have only seen these stored in even amounts of bytes per line.

This is the offending line...

:09086000580046006745783A0093



I notice that MPLAB imports the file, and inserts 0xFF for the missing
byte.

eg.

  ...
  0x4567
  0x3A78
  0xFF00

I think this HEX file was generated by a 'C' compiler.

regards

Tony
