| 05:22.58 | edboogie2k | does anybody know what the difference between a hex file and bin file are? for firmware binaries? specifically for ARM cortex m3? |
| 05:24.15 | alex4nder | yes, one is hex (could be something more specific, like S19), the other is the raw binary. |
| 05:24.45 | edboogie2k | which file type do i use for a flash update for my bootloader? |
| 05:25.13 | bsdfox | you want the hex |
| 05:25.36 | edboogie2k | okay so my IDE compiles and links and outputs a hex file |
| 05:26.28 | edboogie2k | can i FOPEN and FREAD it to flash in my bootloader, is it just a straight forward binary readout of what the flash should be? |
| 05:27.19 | alex4nder | look at the bootloader? |
| 05:27.21 | bsdfox | it doesn't contain any of the vector information |
| 05:27.49 | edboogie2k | hey bsdfox: technically, i don't need the vector information right? |
| 05:27.52 | bsdfox | and I believe on the cortex m3 those can be rearranged so it's very important |
| 05:28.00 | edboogie2k | ohh |
| 05:29.08 | edboogie2k | sheesh.. danm i don't know what i'm doing then.. i have an example that uses the cortex's In Application Programming interface, to read and write sectors on the flash |
| 05:29.29 | edboogie2k | so I wrote a "bootloader" to read a SD card and get a firmware file |
| 05:29.32 | edboogie2k | what should i do then? |
| 05:29.45 | edboogie2k | to reflash using IAP |
| 05:30.16 | bsdfox | put the linked binary (.hex) on the sdcard instead of the raw binary? |
| 05:30.24 | edboogie2k | okay |
| 05:30.36 | edboogie2k | what should i do to process the hex file |
| 05:30.38 | edboogie2k | ? |
| 05:30.47 | edboogie2k | i have never delt with a hex file |
| 05:31.30 | edboogie2k | by vectored data, you mean the binary is associated to memory addresses , right? |
| 05:32.36 | edboogie2k | i mean data with vector information is data with memory addresses associated |
| 05:34.08 | edboogie2k | ohh, it is an INTEL HEX formatted file |
| 05:34.09 | edboogie2k | okay |
| 05:35.54 | edboogie2k | should i try and find some code that read and processes the hex file and formats it for me to save some time? or should i write something to parse it? |
| 05:38.25 | bsdfox | how is the memory organized on an sd card? |
| 05:38.29 | bsdfox | 16bit? |
| 05:39.13 | edboogie2k | well i am using a FAT file system |
| 05:39.23 | edboogie2k | i have no idea, i am just reading files using C FOPEN |
| 05:39.29 | edboogie2k | and FREAD FWRITE |
| 05:43.03 | bsdfox | fat16 I'm guessing? |
| 05:43.18 | edboogie2k | wel actually FAT32 or FAT16 |
| 05:43.24 | edboogie2k | system supports a wide variety |
| 05:43.27 | edboogie2k | does it matter/. |
| 05:43.29 | edboogie2k | ? |
| 05:43.43 | bsdfox | I think the memory is organized differently |
| 05:43.45 | edboogie2k | its commercial quality FAT flash file system |
| 05:44.32 | bsdfox | if you had 8bit it'd be a pain to parse and reassemble each 16/32bit word in your hex |
| 05:44.55 | edboogie2k | i guess each line in a hex file has some data and the address where the data should be located? so i just need a parser to read this , and then just memcopy or something similar to write to the appropriate address? |
| 05:45.37 | *** join/#edev risca (~risca@h241n2-n-a31.ias.bredband.telia.com) |
| 05:46.13 | bsdfox | there are some checksums in there too |
| 05:46.32 | bsdfox | and I think the location in the .hex is the same organization as the chip |
| 05:47.02 | edboogie2k | "and I think the location in the .hex is the same organization as the chip" |
| 05:47.08 | edboogie2k | i don't understand what you mean by that? |
| 05:48.40 | bsdfox | the first data word in the hex should be at 0x00000000 |
