Download a copy of etherboot. In the contrib dir is bin2intelhex.
Read the howto to pad unused bits of eprom with ff using perl.
The howto puts the ff's first and the image last. I found that that
didn't work.
Mt programmer accepts intel-hex files.
I use vim and 'set fileformat=dos' on the 32kimage (those programmers are
really dumb)
Here is my mkrom:
-----------------
if [ $# -ne 1 ] ; then
echo usage: mkrom binary_rom_file-name
echo actions building the hex file are shown
exit
fi
echo "$1 then ff's -> 32kbimage"
(cat $1; perl -e 'print "\xFF" x 16384') > 32kbimage
echo 'bin2intelhex <32kbimage >rom.hex'
echo remember: unix2dos the rom.hex file
bin2intelhex <32kbimage >rom.hex
