| + | === - Combine HEX files === | ||
| + | |||
| + | To streamline programming multiple chips for a production run, the tool ''srec_cat'' can be used to combine the hex files. Use the command as follows: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | srec_cat xboot.hex -intel main.hex -intel -o mergedfile.hex -intel | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | This will concatenate the two hex files together with the proper offsets. Please make sure to use xboot.hex and not xboot-boot.hex to ensure tha the correct offset is used (xboot.hex is relative to address 0 while xboot-boot.hex is relative to the start of the boot section). Note that the combined hex file cannot be programmed with xboot; it is intended to be written with an ISP programmer so both xboot and the application are written in one step. | ||
