hex2file

hex2file is a feather-light command-line utility that gives you the possibility to convert files with the Intel hex type to binary, text, 8-bit binary or CSV format.

It features straightforward commands that don't necessarily require previous experience with console tools, making it accessible even for users who typically prefer the graphical interface over the Command Prompt environment.

The whole program's wrapped in a single executable file that you can copy to a custom directory on the disk or move to a USB flash drive to effortlessly launch it on any machine.

It doesn't need DLLs or other modules to work properly, add new entries to the system registry, or generate other files on the disk without letting you know about it. It's only necessary to delete this file to perform a complete uninstall.

The usage is hex2file [format specifier]. You only have to indicate the Intel hex file you're attempting to convert, the saving folder and name of the output file, along with the preferred extension between binary or numerical (-b), text (-t), 8-bit binary (-8) and CSV numerical (-c).

If the source and output files are in a different location than the application, you should make sure to write their paths.

Conversion jobs were carried out quickly in our tests, during which hex2file remained light on system resources consumption. No error dialogs popped up and it didn't hang or crash, as it remained stable throughout its evaluation.

To wrap it up, hex2file may not have a wide range of command-line arguments, but it offers a simple and speedy method for converting Intel hex files to binary, text, 8-bit binary or CSV type. It's geared toward all types of users.
