Hex2bin

Not many users require a tool for converting a HEX file into BIN format but those familiar with programming microcontrollers and various other types of chips should consider them useful. Hex2bin is a simple utility that can achieve this sort of conversion for Motorola and Intel HEX files as well as executable files for Windows.

The application does not need to be installed on the system and it can function out of the box. It is console-based, which makes it more difficult to use for the average user but should not be an inconvenience for savvier ones.

Once loaded, the program shows the list of options it supports along with the syntax that needs to be used.

Hex2bin can be instructed about the starting and ending addresses. By providing these values the tool continues the process until the maximum address is reached.

There is also the possibility to define the extension of output result and to enable checksum verification in order to make sure that everything is okay.

Another options included by the developer refers to the checksum type. As such, users have the possibility to select between 8-bit, 16-bit little/big endian.

Provided that all the parameters are entered properly, the application should work without any trouble.

Hex2bin is not a tool for a particular type of users. Despite being console-based the program is not too difficult to use and understanding the configuration parameters is easy even for those that are in the least familiar with HEX files.
