This is a command line tool that can load multiple hex files, combine them and output a hex file of the same or different file type. (run as python -m msp430.memory.convert)
Usage: convert.py [options] [INPUT...]
Simple hex file conversion tool.
It is also possible to specify multiple input files and create a single, merged output.
| -h, --help | show this help message and exit |
| -o DESTINATION, --output=DESTINATION | |
| write result to given file | |
| -i TYPE, --input-format=TYPE | |
| input format name (titext, ihex, bin, hex, elf) | |
| -f TYPE, --output-format=TYPE | |
| output format name (titext, ihex, bin, hex) | |
| -d, --debug | print debug messages |
Compare two hex files. The files are loaded and a hex dump is compared. The diff between the hex dumps is output (unless the --html option is used). The tool also sets the shell exit code so that it could be used in shell/bat scripts.
(run as python -m msp430.memory.compare)
Usage: compare.py [options] FILE1 FILE2
Compare tool.
This tool reads binary, ELF or hex input files, creates a hex dump and shows the differences between the files.
| -h, --help | show this help message and exit |
| -o DESTINATION, --output=DESTINATION | |
| write result to given file | |
| -d, --debug | print debug messages |
| -v, --verbose | print more details |
| -i TYPE, --input-format=TYPE | |
| input format name (titext, ihex, bin, hex, elf) | |
| --html | create HTML output |
Generate hex files filled with some pattern. The pattern can be a counter or a useful MSP430 instruction such as JMP $ (0x3fff).
(run as python -m msp430.memory.generate)
Usage: generate.py [options]
Test File generator.
This tool generates a hex file, of given size, ending on address 0xffff if no start address is given.
| -h, --help | show this help message and exit |
| -o DESTINATION, --output=DESTINATION | |
| write result to given file | |
| -f TYPE, --output-format=TYPE | |
| output format name (titext, ihex, bin, hex) | |
| -l SIZE, --length=SIZE | |
| number of bytes to generate | |
| -s START_ADDRESS, --start-address=START_ADDRESS | |
| start address of data generated | |
| -c, --count | use address as data |
| --const=CONST | use given 16 bit number as data (default=0x3fff) |
| --random | fill with random numbers |
Show hex dump of files. Note that the same can be achieved with msp430.memory.convert -f hex.
(run as python -m msp430.memory.hexdump)
Usage: hexdump.py [options] [SOURCE...]
Hexdump tool.
This tool generates hex dumps from binary, ELF or hex input files.
What is dumped? - Intel hex and TI-Text: only data - ELF: only segments that are programmed - binary: complete file, address column is byte offset in file
| -h, --help | show this help message and exit |
| -o DESTINATION, --output=DESTINATION | |
| write result to given file | |
| --debug | print debug messages |
| -v, --verbose | print more details |
| -i TYPE, --input-format=TYPE | |
| input format name (titext, ihex, bin, hex, elf) | |
