Hello all,

I wanted to confirm that I can write data to flash (that will be used by my application) with Flash Magic? I know that I can select a sector to which I want to write to, however the format of the file has to be .hex. 

Can you suggest an application which I can use to convert a .txt file to .hex file that will be recognized by Flash magic?

Thanks.

I have been able to convert my text file into a hex file using a QNX command on my machine.

My application hex file spans sectors 0 to 4. How do I go about writing data to a particular sector in flash with the Flash Magic tool?  For example, if I wanted to write data into Sector 26 and not erase or modify any other sector.

In section 2 of the main window check only the sector you want to erase.
Then in your hex file make sure it only contains data for that sector.
