Use the Sort command from DOS and sort the address field. Remember to relocate the end of file record to the end of the file.

Hi friends,

I realized that the output of compiler (HEX file), the address is in a random manner rather than "ascending" order.

For example, the hex output (using metalink assembler) will goes something like this :

:03 0000 00 12 34 56 78
:10 0003 00 12 34 56 78 90 AA BB and etc
:10 0013 00 and other data

However for keil, the hex output hex is in a random manner whereby address and range from anywhere.

Is there some settings that I have missed inorder to achieve an ascending output.

This pose a problem for my "homebrew" AT89XX programmer. If the next address of data to burn into the flash is lesser than the present address, I have to reset the whole process to get back to eariler address.

Thanks !

Best Regards
Andy
