Uploading hex file to Intel EE87C196KB16 mcu
Uploading hex file to Intel EE87C196KB16 mcu
(OP)
Hi All -
Wondering if anyone has experience with this mcu or programmer ( BrianG ?) -
I have a legacy project that needs a hex file uploaded to a replacement intel mcu. I am using a Dataman 48Pro2 programmer. I can download the code from the original (EN87C196KB16) mcu and upload the code to a new (EE87C196KB16) replacement mcu but the chip does not function at all during tests. I am comparing the original hex file supplied to the downloaded and they are very similar, so the device doesn't seem to be code protected. I have also tried uploading the original hex file to the replacement with no luck. Maybe it seems like the code isn't being uploaded into the currect address location?
Looking for any tips or resources that may help. Thanks!

Very similar is not the same as identical. Are they supposed to be identical?

At this point, you should probably try to contact an Intel applications engineer.

I'll get the ball rolling with Intel as well.

Rereading your post, however, has me wondering what you're comparing. If you're recompiling source code, the resultant hex file may very well have 0xFF in memory locations leading up to where the code actually starts if your assembler's output file is not sanitized... it won't hurt anything, but the output file can grow extremely large on large memory model systems. (Ever seen a 2GB COFF file? It ain't pretty trying to load that through a 38k serial line.)

From your data record :10208000FA
10 is the record length
2080 is the load address
00 is the record type i.e. data
FA is the checksum
Is 2080 your load address? Note that there is no data on that line. Most of these files start with bigger records with at least some data in it.
