Table 5-8. Splitter Command-Line Switches
Switch Description
sourcefile
Specifies the source (
.DXE
) for the splitter operation.
outputfile
Specifies the splitter’s output file.
If not specified, the name of the
sourcefile
(executable file) is used
for the output. The extension depends on the output format.
-byte
Produces byte-stream output format.
-dm
Extracts data memory.
Extracts segments from the executable declared as data memory. The
splitter generates two one-byte files:
.BNM
—contains the upper bytes of the 16-bit data words
.BNL
—contains the lower bytes.
-i
Produces Intel hex output format.
-pm
Extracts program memory.
Extracts segments from the executable declared as program memory.
The splitter generates three one-byte files:
.BNU
—contains the upper bytes of the 24-bit words
.BNM
—contains the middle bytes
.BNL
—contains the lowest bytes.
-readall
Includes RAM and ROM in PROM.
Extracts both RAM and ROM segments from the input file. By
default, only ROM segments are extracted.
