Hex Editor for EEPROM

[exelanoz]

Hello Skimask,

Thanks for info....
I've searched on google using 'intel hex editor', I have DL a few freeware & shareware, but none "convert" it to what I call human readable character format.

I don't mind paying for it, if it works well, but so far some had crashed...(e.g Taruns Editor) and then I tried 010 Editor, but that doesn't display it the way I need it.

In the meantime - - if I don't come across anything, I might have to persist with what I am currently using.

Many thanks

I think you need a plain text editor. If needed, you would like to see the ascii code of a character? Right? If this is what you need, seriously look at pspad. It has both plain text editing and hex code for the character that the cursor is over. If not happy and you want screen shot C, you can switch to the hex editor mode.

Hope I understood you properly

Seems to me that most of those programs should be able to 'load' as an Intel HEX formatted file, and 'save' to a straight binary file...
Any options in those programs for that?

I think the problem here is that Intel HEX files have CheckSum's on every line.

If you edit a single character anywhere in the file, the file will no longer be valid. So not only does the editor have to format things so you can read them, but it also has to recalculate checksums after each change.

Not likely to find a Freeware for that.

It would probably just be easier to create the file using MPLAB.

A series of db statements should make it pretty easy to edit. But if you're just editing existing files, then that won't work too well either.
