Re: [Sdcc-user] Generating .hex extension file

[Johan K. <joh...@id...>]

We can, but we won't. The .ihx file produced by the linker is very compact
but fragmented. Some bootloaders or eprom burners will choke on that. The
packihx util is there to (what's in a name) pack it and produces a more
continious .hex file with:

packihc somefile.ihx >somefile.hex
