hello
I am a student in electronic specialty master at the National School of Engineering Sfax (Tunisia).
I'm doing the communication between fpga xc4vsx35 and dm642 dsp, and this application requires programming a .hex file with flashburn of ccs.
1 - What is the use of this file?
2 - How to generate this file?
Thank you for your help.

    The .hex file is an image of your application, in the form of ascii hex values instead of being a binary file, this is just for the purposes of the flash burning utilities to interpret your application image easier.

    A .hex file is generated using the hex6x utility within the code generation tools.

    For a more detailed explanation of booting you may want to take a look at SPRA999, this covers the steps you would need to follow to get your application to boot out of flash on the DM642, including the hex conversion.
