Hex Conversion Utility Description
10.4 Understanding Memory Widths
The hex conversion utility makes your memory architecture more flexible by
allowing you to specify memory and ROM widths. In order to use the hex
conversion utility,
you must understand how the utility treats word widths. Four
widths are important in the conversion process: target width, data width,
memory width, and ROM width. The terms target word, data word, memory
word and ROM word, refer to a word of such a width.
Figure 10–2 illustrates the three separate and distinct phases of the hex
conversion utility’s process flow.

Raw data in COFF files is repre-
sented in target-width-sized
words. For ’C54x this is 16 bits.
The target width is fixed and
cannot be changed.
