The order of options and file names can be arbitrary.
File names
Absolute object file: <File name>.abs
ICE parameter file: <File name>.par
The extension of an absolute object file can be omitted. The ICE parameter file must be specified with
its extension.
A long file name supported in Windows and a path name can be specified. When including spaces in
the file name, enclose the file name with double quotation marks (").
Options
The hex converter comes provided with the following four start-up options:
-b
Function: Conversion of existing codes only
Explanation: Converts and delivers only the object codes that exist in the specified absolute object
file. Data for unused addresses is not delivered.
Default: If this option is not specified, the hex data for the entire available memory range
of the model is delivered to the output file. Unused addresses are filled with 0xff.
-e
Function: Output of error files
Explanation: Creates an .err file which contains the information that the hex converter outputs
to the Standard Output (stdout), such as error messages.
Default: If this option is not specified, no error file will be created.
-i
Function: Conversion into Intel-HEX format
Explanation: Generates the hex files ("h.hex", "l.hex" and "c.hex") in Intel-HEX format.
Default: If this option is not specified, Motorola-S format files (".hsa", ".lsa" and ".csa") are
generated.
-o <file name>
Function: Specification of output path/file name
Explanation: Specifies an output path/file name without extension or with an extension ".hsa",
".lsa", ".csa", "h.hex", "l.hex" or "c.hex". By specifying only one file name, three hex
files will be generated.
If no extension is specified, an appropriate extension will be supplemented at the
end of the specified output path/file name. In this case, ".hsa", ".lsa" or ".csa" is
added to the output file name. If Intel-HEX format is specified, "h.hex", "l.hex" or
"c.hex" is added to the output file name. It may change a DOS file name (8
characters max.) to a long file name for Windows.
Default: The input file name is used for the output file names.
When entering an option in the command line, one or more spaces are necessary before and after the
option.
Example: c:\epson\s1c63\bin\hx63 -e test.abs par63xxx.par
