Hex2000 utility options; possible to concatenate files size for fill of 0's?

Hi Krishna,

In order to create the hex file I have these options being executed to generate a hex file .

--entrypoint=0x3F3FFE --boot --gpio8 --intel

Basically the entrypoint address, the boot option to convert all sections into bootable format, and the source of the boot-loader table as the GP I/O port, 8-bit mode. And the processor I am using is Piccolo F28069.

Should I be using any other options, to get a regular intel hex file without the overhead? OR Is this the ONLY way to generate a intel hex file which comes with the key , eight words of "00 00", and a destination address. ?

    The hex utility hex2000 is documented in the C28x assembly tools manual.  Please search for the sub-chapters titled Building a Table for an On-Chip Boot Loader and Intel MCS-86 Object Format.

    Probably.  If you want me to explain why hex output starts that way, then I need to reproduce it myself.  By copy-n-paste of the text (not a screen shot), please show exactly how the hex utility is invoked.  Please put all the input files read by the hex utility in a zip file and attach that to your next post.

    Thanks and regards,
