AWR1642: Can the SBL support the other format like .hex?

Hi, Experts

As the SBL example in mmwave_automotive_toolbox_3_4_0, the SBL load the application as Meta-Image format, can the SBL support load the application as .hex?

And there any guide docs to help development?

Thanks

    Hi Bryan,

    it is purely depends on the implementation of SBL how it needs to process the application image either while downloading to Flash (reading from UART/CAN) or loading from flash to RAM.

    In the given reference application of SBL it follows the steps to parse the MetaImage binary file as it has compacted the data in it. If you need to parse the *.hex file format, then you need to implement that relevant sequence in SBL so it can parse and under the file content.

    There is guide document to read/parse the *.hex format, as MetaImage binary is our standard format for application image.
