Hi Mihamina,

I have sent you the complete work folder.

thyncHextoC.py is python script used to convert .hex to .c structure file

Open command prompt window and type below command.


>python thyncHextoC.py <mention hex file to be converted>

example:  python thyncHextoC.py 18052015_1640_STM_5_08_DVT.hex

stm32Image.c file is created.

this .c file has to be converted to csv file.

I was following manual steps as below:(But want to automate now)

3)Open stm32Image.c file in notepad++
Delete  first 23 lines of data in the file(including this line "const flashImage_t    flashImageData[] ={")

The .C file must contain only hex bytes now.

4)Select all the hex bytes and go to edit option->Blank operation-> Remove leading and trailing spaces

next go again edit option->Line operations-> Remove empty lines containing blank characters

Remove the comma(,) from last hex byte till end of the file.
This can be achieved using Alt+Shift+end and scroll down until the last hex byte.

Note:Donot modify last line 0,0,0 }; of the file. Let it  remain as it is.

5)Once all the above steps are done, Save the file and in command prompt execute below command for converting .c to .csv file

>ren stm32Image.c <file name.csv>

example:ren stm32Image.c 28022015_1140_EVT.csv
