Description
The Intel hex file format contains enough information to load a program
into memory and begin it's execution. This includes a jump address,
which is generally set to main, that is generated by most compilers. When
merging two Intel hex files, there is no way to know a priori which one
is the true jump address. Therefore, IntelHex (the python package) has
opted to raise an exception:
Starting addresses are different
. This canhappen when jump address is set in a boot loader and an application; when
both are built as Intel hex. This patch removes jump addresses before
merging the boot loader with the application.
