Hi David,
Is it possible for the GCC tools to generate a checksum from the generated code and embed it into the hex file at a specific address? I've done this in the past using the IAR compiler and need it for the bootloader to check the new code being loaded into flash.
The tool I have used for this (not GCC though) is srecord which can manipulate hex and binary files that are output from GCC.
See http://srecord.sourceforge.net/
Thank you!
