Hi.

I download hex2bin.exe from Atmel.
I run hex2bin blinky.hex blinky.bin

create bin file bat size is too big (more then 1MByt) real data are
start from adress 100000H and end at 1002A0 (672byt).
I don't use any parameter .
I compile blinky demo from IAR.

Where is problem.

regards .

I look to make file and there is write:
## Output format. (can be ihex or binary)
FORMAT = ihex
#FORMAT = binary

If I work on WinARM OK.
But if compile any project from IAR or KEIL generate HEX file.
I wil be try to program mcu with SAM-BA. Just SAM-BA use bin file.
I knou it's possible direct from IDE (macroigor - wingler).

regards.

Hi Dzairo,
could you download the generated bin file with sam-ba?  Can someone
please tell me how to modify my makefile so that it creates a .bin file
and not a .hex file with binary data in it.
Also: I can download my binary file with sam-ba or sam-prog but no LED
comes on on my -EK board.  Could someone please post me a working bin
file for the GPIO example that comes with WinAVR.

regards

I thiks that can't download data from mcu with SAM-BA , because if you
want use sam-ba, must connect TST pin to VCC , then mcu load from rom
data to flash (default program for upload firmware ower USB,UART..) and
after upload data to mcu on flash is your program and if you don't make
support this function on your program can't do that , but it's my
opinion.

on file makefile find  FORMAT = ihex, then change FORMAT = binary ,
after make generate file with hex extension byt file is binary, manualy
change file extension and can use with sam-ba. (I use this)
section FORMAT define file format but no file extension.(this is EASY
way)
if you want generate bin file with bin extension you must FORMAT  set
back to ihex -> FORMAT = ihex and append FORMATB = binary (define other
format definition) then you must find section -> build: and append bin,
append line-> bin: $(TARGET).bin
then find -> # Create final output files     and append this :
# Create final output files (.bin) from ELF output file.
%.bin: %.elf
  @echo
  @echo $(MSG_FLASH) $@
  $(OBJCOPY) -O $(FORMATB) $< $@

and after make generate two file ihex file and binary file.

what devboard you use? what example you need?

OK.
I append line to makefile and new source upload from
sevc.szm.sk\at91sam7s64_example_gamma.zip
I try it and work OK.
after make genrate two file hex and bin.
then I manualy convert hex file to bin and compare. all is OK.

I don't create new source just append some line to makefile.

No, there's not needed make both file (hex,bin).But .... :-) .
