[z88dk-dev] separate +ihex for appmake?

Post by alvin »

Being able to generate an ihex file can be important if you're tryng to program and eprom.

Right now ihex files can only be generated through +rom:

appmake +rom -b test1.bin -o test2.bin --org 32768 -s 11649 --ihex

I had to dir/ls "test1.bin" to find out its length (11649 bytes) then construct a long appmake +rom invocation to generate the ihex file with side effect that another copy of test1.bin was created as test2.bin

What about if +rom was left as a binary image manipulator and +ihex was added to create ihex files from binaries? Then the above could have been done sensibly as:

appmake +ihex --org 32768 -b test1.bin -o test2.ihx

We could also add an option to go from ihex to binary:

appmake +ihex -i test2.ihx -o test1.bin
(print org address to stdout)
