Hi there

I’ve just completed building a midibox64e based floorboard, and have realized that i need to work in patch mode.

I’ve read this article:

[http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midibox64\_e\_patchmode](http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midibox64_e_patchmode)

but my problem is this line:

> Note: Patch mode is a compile option, it needs to be enabled in the main.asm file of the application. Thereafter a new .hex file has to be build and uploaded.

… I have no idea how to make a .hex file - and can’t seem to find any info on how to do it.

How do I make the .hex file?

Anders

Think I found the info i needed. Used this guide:

[http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/windows\_toolchain\_quickstart](http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/windows_toolchain_quickstart)

I did, however, need to change the path entry to:

SET PATH=C:\MSYS\1.0\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\gputils\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\SDCC\bin;%PATH%

…probably because I’m on a 64-bit system…
