Hi, The .ihx extension is what sdcc used since it's original start. You can override it though with the -o option.
You can also use srecord (http://srecord.sourceforge.net) to create contiguous hex files (or many other types). Maarten > I believe .ihx and .hex are the same thing. (.ihx is short for Intel > Hex).
