MCU Calibration file hex to binary

kishores · 7 May 2019 11:17

Hi there ,
I am using internal MCU for calibration . I don’t know how to convert the hex file to binary . Where does lime suite do this ? I can’t use Keil to directly convert to the binary .

Regards ,
Kishore S.

If you are using UNIX you can use a command like:
$ xxd -r -p input.hex output.bin
To reverse a plain hex dump into a binary file.

P.S. You may need to add an “-e” to change the endian depending on the architecture that you run the command on.
