I'm trying to understand the procedure for getting some data from my PC onto a 25LC512 serial EEPROM chip using Pickit 2.
What I've got thus far: I found the pickit2/25LC pin connections hidden away in the Pickit 2 readme file. I've selected my device (25LC512) in Pickit 2 application.
Do I now simply need to import my data into Pickit 2 software as a hex file? If so, how do I get tabulated data from a text file (each datum is a single byte) into hex format?
Am I supposed to be doing this...
Intel HEX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia?
Update: As soon as I submitted this post I realised I should check the reference section of the wikipedia article. Lo and behold, a ref to . I was able to get a series of bytes (the digits 1 to 8) to show up in the Pickit 2 'program memory' window.
My question is now; do you have a recommended method for text to hex conversion, one that can turn my example column data into blocks of hex-formatted bytes?
