 		 #148259 - Why process the Intel-HEX file locally?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard Erlacher said:
Why do you wish to process the Intel-formatted HEX file locally?

Good point!

The raison d'etre for the Intel Hex format (and Motorola S-Records) is to allow transmission over links that don't support binary data.
But the data in this case is going to be carried on a memory card - which is perfectly capable of doing binary data!

So, as Richard says, why mess with Intel Hex at all - why not just use the binary file?!

         AVRs won't have this problem            01/01/70 00:00      
            OK            01/01/70 00:00      
               Changing processor            01/01/70 00:00      
                  My two cents            01/01/70 00:00      
                  ARM is the right choice for the project of this Sc            01/01/70 00:00      
            I'd be VERY careful using ATMEL!            01/01/70 00:00      
               prototype testing is necessary            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Yes, you have to test them under extremes            01/01/70 00:00      
               Richards, can you suggest an alternative?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  NXP            01/01/70 00:00      
                  In short ...            01/01/70 00:00

               8051 is not french wrench            01/01/70 00:00      
                  AVR can't execute from external RAM            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Russell Bull is right            01/01/70 00:00      
                        just like any other uC            01/01/70 00:00
