6. FILE OPERATIONS
This section describes basic rules working with files. Memory dump from Hex Editor (Buffer)
can be load/save from/to hard disk. Also short descriptions such as project name, MCU type and
memory cell assignment can be done for future fast remind.
HC912-Programmer
accepts tree types
of file formats:
9
BIN (Binary format)
9
Motorola S-Record (4 byte address)
9
Motorola S-Record (6 byte address)
9
EEF (Extended ETL Format)
6.1 LOAD FILE INTO BUFFER
Select “File>Open” menu item.
Press “Browse” button.
In File Open Dialog window, select file witch need to be open.
Press “Open” button.
Than opposite “Auto Format Detected:” text, select correct file format. Note that software
try automatically detects file format, but unknown records in file will fail this detection.
“Load Entire file” check box must be checked if automatically loading procedures
required.
Than press “OK” button.
Sometimes load data from file to specific buffer allocations required. For Example if required
load buffer from $0400 address from binary file beginning from $0000 address follow next steps:
Select “File>Open” menu item.
Press “Browse” button.
In File Open Dialog window, select file which need to be open.
Press “Open” button.
Than, opposite “Auto Format Detected:” select Binary format.
Uncheck “Load Entire File” check box.
In field “Offset Value to Place Data to Buffer:” enter 0x0400.
Than press “OK” button.
Now data placed to Hex Editor Buffer from the beginning of 0x0400 address.
If more complicated operations with files required, for example load Hex Editor Buffer from
many files “Lowest Address From File To Load”, “Highest Address From File To Load” and
“Clear Buffer Before Loading File” options are available.
6.2 SAVE FILE FROM BUFFER
Select “File>Save” menu item.
Press “Browse” button.
Select directory in which file will be saved.
Type file name, for example “test1”
Press “Save” button.
Than select format in which file will be saved*.
Press “OK” button.

Note
: Use EEF Format for future “Load File Into Buffer” automatically
processing. Also, only in EEF Format
Project Description, Device Name and
&
Note
: Use Motorola S-Record (6 byte address) Format to save all FLASH
memory contents.
Memory Cells attributes can be saved.
