While they should, there are also reasons why in some cases you need sorted (address in strictly ascending order) hex files: Some (if not most) targets have more flash than RAM and thus are forced when doing in application programming, IAP, to programm their nonvolatile memory while they receive the data. (They cannot buffer the complete contents of the memory to be programmed.) Unsorted hex files can then cause redundant (and costly in terms of time, user experience and eventually flash wear) clearing of flash pages. So it might be a good idea to read: 3.1.2 Postprocessing the Intel Hex file Greetings, Frieder ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Sdcc-user mailing list Sdcc-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sdcc-user
