A Hexadecimal (Intel-Format) File (with the extension .hex) that contains configuration and memory initialization data for the Excalibur^™ embedded processor stripe of an ARM^®-based Excalibur device, and may contain configuration data for the programmable logic device (PLD) portion of the device. You can use the exc_flash_programmer utility to program the information in the flash programming file into the flash memory for the ARM-based Excalibur device via Expansion Bus Interface zero (EBI0). The ARM-based Excalibur device then loads the configuration and memory initialization data from the flash memory via EBI0.

You or the Software Builder can use a code converter, a linker, and the makeprogfile utility to generate a flash programming file.

Flash programming files usually have the file name <project name>_flash.hex
