Simple, console-based utility designed to convert HEX (hexadecimal) files to BIN (binary) fast and with listtle effort from the user
Download Intel Hex2Bin for free. A program that transforms any intel hex format file to binary file. This program allocates the memory dynamically, that's why it's able to generate as many.bin files as needed by the.hex file respecting the maximum size indicated by the user. Hexadecimal - file (binary) Create arbitrary file from hexadecimal code (javascript, client-side only). Tested with PaleMoon 25.2.1, Chromium 46. For larger (over few MBs) data sets hextofile.exe might be more useful. Another, older console application: hex2bin.zip.
Not many users require a tool for converting a HEX file into BIN format but those familiar with programming microcontrollers and various other types of chips should consider them useful. Hex2bin is a simple utility that can achieve this sort of conversion for Motorola and Intel HEX files as well as executable files for Windows.
Console-based tool, no need to install
The application does not need to be installed on the system and it can function out of the box. It is console-based, which makes it more difficult to use for the average user but should not be an inconvenience for savvier ones.
Once loaded, the program shows the list of options it supports along with the syntax that needs to be used.
Supported parameters
Hex2bin can be instructed about the starting and ending addresses. By providing these values the tool continues the process until the maximum address is reached.
There is also the possibility to define the extension of output result and to enable checksum verification in order to make sure that everything is okay.
Another options included by the developer refers to the checksum type. As such, users have the possibility to select between 8-bit, 16-bit little/big endian.
Provided that all the parameters are entered properly, the application should work without any trouble.
Straightforward HEX to BIN converter
Hex2bin is not a tool for a particular type of users. Despite being console-based the program is not too difficult to use and understanding the configuration parameters is easy even for those that are in the least familiar with HEX files.

This tool is used for converting hexadecimal files (either Motorola or Intelformat) into a binary file. It's a command line tool with basic capabilities.
Hex2bin/mot2bin Features
It can handle the extended Intel hex format in segmented and linear addressmodes. Records need not be sorted and there can be gaps between records. Holes/unused bytes can be specified as any other value than FF. A checksum canbe inserted into the binary file.
The source files can be easily compiled for Windows, either by using CodeBlocks + MinGW GCCor Microsoft Visual Studio(or Express). For convenience, the distributed file containsthe 64-bit executables for Windows already.
License
Hex2bin and mot2bin are released with a BSD license.
Usage
Options are case sensitive and options with parameters need a space betweenoption and parameter. I.e. -s 0000 instead of -s0000.
A successful execution exits with the error code = 0, If any error occurs,the program exits immediately with the error code = 1.
All values are in hexadecimal, no 0x needed: ex. not 0x0100 but 0100.
Batch/script mode
Normally, if the specified hex file doesn't exist, hex2bin/mot2bin askrepeatedly for a valid filename. A batch/script mode option is provided forexiting with an error instead of asking for a file.
If the file xxxx.hex doesn't exist, the program exits immediately with theerror code = 1.
Checksum of source file
By default, it ignores checksum errors, so that someone can change by handsome bytes allowing quick and dirty changes.
If you want checksum error reporting, specify the option -c.
If there is a checksum error somewhere, the program will continue theconversion anyway. For convenience,
hex2bin/mot2bin displays the expected checksum at each faulty records.
Extension for output file
By default, the extension will be
A file
Padding byte
By default, unused locations will be filled with FF. Another value can bespecified.
Starting Address and Length
If the lowest address isn't 0000, ex: 0100: (the first record begins with:nn010000xxx ) there will be problems when using the binary file to program aEPROM since the first byte supposed to be at 0100 is stored in the binary fileat 0000.
you can specify the binary file's starting address on the command line:
The bytes will be stored in the binary file with a padding from 0000 to thelowest address minus 1 (00FF in this case).
Similarly, the binary file can be padded up to Length -1 with FF or anotherbyte.
Here, the space between the last byte and 07FF will be filled with FF.
Bin To Dec
EPROM, EEPROM and Flash memories contain all FF when erased.
When the source file name is
the '.test' part will be dropped.
Hex2bin/mot2bin assume the source file doesn't contain overlapping records,if so, overlaps will be reported.
Minimum Block Size
The output file size will be a multiple of Minimum block size. It will befilled with FF or the specified pattern.
Length must be a power of 2 in hexadecimal [see -l option].
Attention this option is STRONGER than Maximal Length.
Checksum or CRC inserted inside binary file
A checksum value can be inserted in the resulting binary file.
-k Select checksum type:
0 = 8-bit checksum
1 = 16-bit checksum (adds 16-bit words into a 16-bit sum, data and result BEor LE)
2 = 8-bit CRC
3 = 16-bit CRC
4 = 32-bit CRC
5 = 16-bit checksum (adds bytes into a 16-bit sum, result BE or LE)
-E Endianness of result to store
0 = little endian
1 = big endian
How To Convert Bin File To Hex File
-r Range to compute checksum or CRC over (default is min and maxaddresses)
-f Address of checksum or CRC to write
-d Displays the list of checksum types and exits
Value inserted directly inside binary file
A value can be inserted directly (forced) in the resulting binary file.
-k Select value length type:
0 = 8-bit value
1 = 16-bit value
2 = 32-bit value
-E Endianness
0 = little endian
1 = big endian
-F Address and value checksum to write
Support for byte-swapped hex/S19 files
Some compilers such as Microchip's MPLAB IDE can generate byte swapped hexfiles.
hex2bin-w test-byte-swap.hex-w Wordwise swap: for each pair of bytes, exchange the low and high part.
Support for word sized hex files (hex2bin only)
Hex with record type, where data is represented in Word (2 Byte)
e.g Texas Instruments: TMS320F2835, TMS320F28065.

Status
Hex2bin and mot2bin are in production status. It is working well for manysmall applications.
