It was also used to specify memory contents to Intel for ROM production. The Intel hex format was originally designed for Intel's Intellec Microcomputer Development Systems (MDS) in 1973 in order to load and execute programs from paper tape. The HEX file is then read by a programmer to write the machine code into a PROM or is transferred to the target system for loading and execution. Common file extensions used for the resulting files are.
Some also use it as a container format holding packets of stream data. In a typical application, a compiler or assembler converts a program's source code (such as in C or assembly language) to machine code and outputs it into a HEX file. It is commonly used for programming microcontrollers, EPROMs, and other types of programmable logic devices and hardware emulators. Intel hexadecimal object file format, Intel hex format or Intellec Hex is a file format that conveys binary information in ASCII text form.
