Instead of packihx, try:

makebin -p <test.ihx >test.bin


I don't believe it is necessary to use packihx before makebin (I could be wrong).


I don't know where the docs for makebin are, but the executable should

be in same dir as packihx.  "makebin  -h" gives following 2 lines of output:



makebin: convert a Intel IHX file to binary.

Usage: makebin [-p] [-s romsize] [-h]





The default romsize seems to be 32k, and the -p seems to truncate padding at end.
