■ Questions and Answers on Using an Object Format Converter
Q. There are many converters available. Which one should I use?
A. A converter is used to convert an absolute format load module file that is output by a
linker to an object format that can be read by a ROM writer.
It is recommended to use f2ms converting to the S format and f2hs to the HEX format
because the f2ms and f2hs fully support the 32bits addressing space.
Use other conversion tools as required.
Example f2ms absfile.abs -> Outputs absfile.mhx in the S format
Q. When I use binary converter and format adjuster, an error, "F9001U: Insufficient
memory" is output and I cannot convert data to a binary image. What should I do?
A. Binary converter and format adjuster secure as much memory as the area to be converted.
If you try to convert a large area to the memory image at once, an error, "F9001U:
Insufficient memory" may be output and the processing interrupted. In such a case, split
the target area into multiple continuous areas and create a memory image for each of
them. Then, merge the files into one binary image.
Example Converting the binary image area from 0xC00000 through 0xFFFFFF
- If enough memory can be secured (Normal):
1 m2bs absfile.mhx -ran 0xC00000,0xFFFFFF
- If an error, "F9001U: Insufficient memory" is output:
1 m2bs absfile.mhx -ran 0xC00000,0xDFFFFF -o absfile1.bin
2 m2bs absfile.mhx -ran 0xE00000,0xFFFFFF -o absfile2.bin
3 copy /b absfile1.bin + absfile2.bin absfile.bin
