rom or hex when what to use?
2005-08-13 by Laurinyecz Zoltán
Hi to all,
I'm running a kind of equipment
for data acquisition at my company. I also repair them when it is
necessary. They involves in two kind of processor (Mega128 and
AT90S4433) I have all the firmwares of processors
of course to upload them after replacing faulty processors. I have
"filename.rom" for Mega128 and "filename.hex" for AT90S4433
My question is: What's the
difference between files ended .rom and .hex I know that the xxx.rom is a binary
file and the xxx.hex is an ASCII It's also known that there are strict rules to
assemble these files. But what are the rules that when to use .rom and when to
use .hex. Let suppose that both file format can be compiled with
the compiler and both file format can be burned with the
programmer.
