About

The Intel HEX file format widely used in microprocessors and microcontrollers area as the de-facto standard for representation of code for programming microelectronic devices.

This work implements an intelhex Python library to read, write, create from scratch and manipulate data from HEX (also known as Intel HEX) file format. These operations are provided by IntelHex class.

The distribution package also includes several convenience Python scripts to do basic tasks that utilize this library. The bin2hex.py script converts binary data to HEX, and the hex2bin.py works the other direction. hex2dump.py converts data from HEX to a hexdump which is useful for inspecting data, and hexmerge.py merges multiple HEX files into one.

Motivation

This work was partially inspired by SRecord software in that moment when I’ve stuck with its limitations and unintuitive behavior.

So I’ve made this library and related tools which gives me full control over data and HEX file creation.
