Watching an experienced "ed" user is pretty amazing.

Or for simple editing just use 'ed' under cygwin (you only
need 'ed.exe' and 'cygwin1.dll' -- be sure to use the
correct version of the dll for the executable; if you
get unresolved sym references, get a newer cygwin1.dll).

Never, ever use Notepad. It's usless. Wordpad is far less
broken than Notepad, but still vastly inferior to something
like PFE or emacs, or vim, or several dozen other (free) real
editors.

Microsoft, in its great wisdom, often believes that it knows better
what you want than you do.

Don't do that. If you want or need to check the file format, do not
use Notepad. Go to http://www.sourceforge.net/ and search on
"programmer's editor" for a lot of better choices. Or go to
http://www.vim.org/ and download the One True Editor. ;-)

I have just made a mistake about the file I am using. I just create a
page break in it. The file I can't upload to the Flash looks like
this:
:020000040000FA
:1000000018F09FE518F09FE518F09FE518F09FE5C0
:1000100018F09FE5805F20B9F0FF1FE518F09FE51D

:00000001FF
I have collected some information about the HEX file format and now I
am more familiar with it.
But there is a problem. While I am opening this file with Notepad, the
format of the file does not look like this.But when I open it with
softwares that can read HEX files like Tiny HEX, the format is like
above. So I decided to make the HEX file again. I copied the
information that was shown in Tiny Hexer software in a Notepad and
arranged the page breaks same as above. But again I could not upload
the file.
What is starange is that when I use the below HEX file, I can upload
ut to the Flash:
:10001300AC12AD13AE10AF1112002F8E0E8F0F2244
:10000300E50B250DF509E50A350CF5081200132259

:04003F00A42EFE22CB
:00000001FF
I am confused!!!

Yes. That is an impossible content for an Intel format HEX file.
There is an entire chapter in ppmanual, available as ppmanual.zip,
on hex format and rbm format files. You can find this at:

If what showed up in the quote above is what's really in the hex file
then yes, something is wrong. For comparison, here's the first three
lines from a simple "blink the LED" ARM project's hex file:
:020000040000FA
:1000000018F09FE508F04FE208F04FE208F04FE2E9
:1000100008F04FE208F04FE2F0FF1FE508F04FE272

By "can" does he mean that he is capable of or that he has?

Hi
When I was searching this group I have seen this format. I checked it
that time and again. I think the format of the HEX file is correct but
I have copied the 3 first and the last line of it:
:020000040000FA
:1000000018F09FE
518F09FE518F09FE
.
.
.
.
:00000001FF
Is it any thing wrong?
By the way the person who has sent me the manual says he can upgrade
the Flash by the same HEX file.
Thanks for your reply.

The frequency in the flash utility screen should match the crystal
frequency on your device. It has nothing to do with windows.
