Can you add hex file support for TI C28x DSP?

[xjtuecho]

The ram and rom width of TI C28x DSP such as TMS320F28335 is 16 bits, and data word is big endian. I use command below to generate hex file from ELF file.

hex2000.exe --memwidth=16 --romwidth=16 --intel -o dat.hex firmware.out

Here is a segment of hex file of C28x. Word on address 0x3F2132 is 0x835E and word on address 0x3F2142 is 0x0000 and word on address 0x3F2152 is 0xAAAB.

When I use IntexHex16bit to parse the hex file, it raised AddressOverlapError. Can you add support for C28x? Thank you.

I make a PR #33 , add feature of any bit_length word mode (class IntelHexWord). The hex file using with word address not byte address. It not not merged for now. You can check my fork .

from intelhex import IntelHexWord

h16 = IntelHexWord('test_16bit.hex', word_length=16)
h16.write_hex_file('test_16bit.out.hex', byte_count=32)
print('{:x}'.format(h16[0x3F2132]))

@xjtuecho Maybe you can use the bincopy package instead?

import bincopy

HEX = '''\
:02000004003FBB
:20213200835E3F6C09083F71FA0B3F7453F83F7814BE3F7B3AAC3F7DC46D3F7EB10F3F7FEC

:0C215200AAAB3D2A88893C088889BC089B
:00000001FF
'''

bf = bincopy.BinFile(word_size_bits=16)
bf.add_ihex(HEX)

print("0x3F2132 = 0x{:04X}".format(bf[0x3F2132]))
print("0x3F2142 = 0x{:04X}".format(bf[0x3F2142]))
print("0x3F2152 = 0x{:04X}".format(bf[0x3F2152]))

The output is:

0x3F2132 = 0x835E
0x3F2142 = 0x0000
0x3F2152 = 0xAAAB

Sorry for not working on your issue. I'm looking for a new maintainer for Python IntelHex project. I hope someone will help.

I need file format description. Do you have any document?

[benfre]

I believe this is docs for hex2000 with --intel option
@xjtuecho Can you confirm?

@xjtuecho Can you confirm?

Yes.
We created hex file from cof file with command line below:

hex2000.exe -romwidth=16 -memwidth=16 --intel -o=OUT.hex IN.out
