10.2 Invoking the Hex Conversion Utility

There are two basic methods for invoking the hex conversion utility:

• Specify the options and filenames on the command line. The following example converts the file firmware.out into TI-Tagged format, producing two output files, firm.lsb and firm.msb.
hex6x -t firmware -o firm.lsb -o firm.msb hex6x --ti_tagged firmware --outfile=firm.lsb --outfile=firm.msb
• Specify the options and filenames in a command file. You can create a file that stores command line options and filenames for invoking the hex conversion utility. The following example invokes the utility using a command file called hexutil.cmd:
hex6x hexutil.cmd

In addition to regular command line information, you can use the hex conversion utility ROMS and SECTIONS directives in a command file.
