.HEX files with comments

By default, CCS includes a last line with ";processor name"

With that line, I am having problems with a bootloader not recognizing a valid structure.

Is there a way to prevent the compiler from doing this?

I don't know if it the processor id line can be turned off. Your bootloader should support the Intel hex file format.

The line before the processor line is of type 01, and indicates the end of the file.

Even if I knew delphi it would be a lot of work, I prefer to edit manually and remove the line. Every time I compile a new code I would have to open the program or edit the file...

The bootloader comes from proton picbasic, it is very nice, has DTR/RTS cpu reset support, command line etc... I managed to work with a 18f452 40mhz.

No other bootloader I tried have these features.

Have you asked CCS?

Directly not, but do they read their forum? Very Happy

I have the full source code for a simple Visual Basic boot loader ( works with CCS's loader.c)

should be no problem to modify it to not send the last line.
