Modus Toolcox : Check SUM of HEX file

[MiNe_85951]

Dear Sirs and Madams,

We have a question about the checksum of the HEX file generated by Modus Toolbox.

Does "03B1" in the HEX file below correspond to the checksum?

Also, is this checksum little endian like ARM Cortex in general?

We confirmed for help menu of ModusToolbox and user guide (002-29893) but did not hit "checksum".

Please let us know if you have any documents that explain the checksum.

Regards,

Hi @MiNe_85951 :

I think you can refer to intel HEX file format to analyze it.

Each row has one byte checksum.

Attachment is the description of Intel Hex file format, please check it.

Colin-san,

 I'm sorry for my question was wrong.

The PSoC programmer had the ability to check the checksum of the entire HEX file.

However, the Cypress Programmer does not have a GUI checksum item.

Does Modus Toolbox or Cypress Programmer not have the concept of an entire HEX file checksum like the PSoC Programmer?

Hi @MiNe_85951 :

There is no entire HEX file checksum in MTB HEX file.

Colin-san,

Thank you for your answer.

I understood that Modus Toolbox should consider other methods because checksums are generally used for version control of HEX files generated by projects.
