Assemble program to a .hex / .bin file?

Asked by BlackCow

So I am ready to burn my program to a PROM but I see no option to assemble out to a hex file, or even better a .bin.

Is this possible in gnusim8085? If not, could you recommend an assembler for me?

Apologies for late reply. gnusim8085 does not currently support redirecting the assembled program to a .hex/.bin file. I am not aware of any other simulator providing this functionality either. You can try searching on sourceforge.net.

I have no knowledge about format of .hex/.bin files that you can load on hardware directly. If there is sufficient documentation available I can give it a try when I find time. Meanwhile patches for adding this functionality are always welcome.

If anyone is interested, I wrote a tool that takes a GNUSim8085 generated assembler listing, parses the hex data out, and dumps it into a .bin

I was able to burn to my ROM with this :-)
