Based on some questions seen over the past few years there seems to be a need for a HEX tool to for some users. Questions seen on www.piclist.com: - Confusion over HEX files. - Questions asking for disassemblers before MPLAB6.x came along. - How to modify a HEX file or files for one reason or another. PICDIS-LITE is yet another free disassembler among many free disassemblers seen on the internet. If you like it, great. If not, that is okay too. Many users don't like vapor-ware announcements, and then on buying a product, end up dissatisfied with what they got. To the professional user, PICDIS-LITE shows some of what you can expect of PICDIS before buying it. PICDIS is a HEX tool with the same "input" core as PICDIS-LITE but has the added "output" functions which make PICDIS a useful HEX tool. PICDIS is a tool geared more towards users that use PIC chips so you may note the options and behaviour lean towards PIC users instead of general use. Features: - DOS based for (lowest common denominator operation). - Additional Linux version for those of you running Linux. - All operations done in RAM for speed. - Default disassembler, default 16-bit operation. - Rule and boundary checks for listed PIC chips. - Bit and Byte adjustment for external ROMs. - HEX file merging, sorting, adjustment, verification and/or translation.
