Hi Sarfraz, The second argument to hexout is the size of the region, rather than the ending address. It'd be best to grab one image for each contiguous flash region (main and interrupt vector table, if there's a gap between them). You can trim the HEX header and footer and splice them together if you want to be able to restore in one step.
