A83: Re: Intel Hex.




I did...

A while back i've wrote a QBasic program to decode an intel-hex file...
I've downloaded the flash update from TI, and it included a file:
base112.hex (which is 540 kbytes), it contains 3 files: 2 small ones and a
large one... Since the hex is 520 kb, the files cant be much larger than
240 kb. The largest file is about 224 Kb and the whole rom should be 512
Kb: this package contains just a part of the rom...

btw. you guys mention 'et112.hex', is this an other, larger file??? if so,
can someone tell me where to download it???
