Re: [EE] The limited usefullness of RTP of the PIC32 Program Flash Memory by Electron .

Ouch.. thank you, I had just stumbled upon it too. I just printed it, it looks very interesting, now I've taken a full liter of laxative as I have a rule: these papers must be read during toilet time only. :) Jokes apart, I have two 1 bln$ questions, if you don't mind: 1) is there a HEX to BIN converter for the PIC32? I know the HEX format is standard, and I even tried to write my own converter, but on some things like configuration registers I don't seem to be able to decodify correctly the HEX. 2) I have just upgraded to MPLAB v8.85: XC32 is just a new name for C32 compiler? Thanks!
