.binary vs .eeprom format

RossH

Hi all,

I have searched the forums, but not been able to find a definition of the .binary file format.

I presume .eeprom is a simple byte-for-byte image, and that the .binary is essentially the same but with any zero bytes at the end removed - but since I'm not at my own computer at the moment, I can't check.

Or perhaps someone has already written a converter program for converting a .binary to a .eeprom and vice versa?

Thanks,

Ross.

Yep, a .binary is just a .eeprom without all the extra zeros. Can't remember if it includes the var area or not though. It would be easy to transfer between the two. All you would need to do is to read the header and then add or remove zeros depending on which way you wanted to go.

No it does not.
