Universal format of firmware files
Firmware BINX format may be of interest to developers of devices on microcontrollers, if they plan to implement in their devices the firmware upgrade function (Update Firmware), i.e. self programming MCU, under conditions:
- insufficiency intermediate memory which used for receiving the new firmware
- slow or unstable communication channel for programming of device
- developer not wish give task for MCU for parsing of HEX format
In fact, BINX is a binary representation of a conventional firmware HEX file standard of 'Intel HEX', it transmitted to the MCU "as is".
