I fully agree. And there are different scenarios, devices and setups with different needs of binary files. >> Though there are many tools on the internet, is there a built-in tool >> inside SDCC? > There isn't that I'm aware of.

Heres on' example that makes sdcc's makebin different from hex2bin. It seems that sdcc's makebin would always generate a file meant to start at address 0, and pad with zeroes if the ihx started at a different address. By default hex2bin would just make a binary file where the first byte corresponds to the lowest adress mentioned in the ihx. Dave's command line "objcopy -Iihex -Obinary in.hex out.bin" performs like hex2bin, though it might be tuned to perform like makebin in this respect. Both hex2bin and GNU objcopy allow to specify an output padding byte value for "holes" in IHX, which makebin does not.

What other tools were you thinking of ? How do they compare with the three mentioned here ?
