SAVE

Home » Debug Commands » SAVE

The SAVE command writes a memory image range to a file using the HEX386 format. This file can be loaded into the µVision Debugger using the LOAD command.

• path\fname saves the output to the file fname located in the directory path. If path is omitted, then the file is located in the root directory of the project.
• startAddr defines the starting address of the memory. startAddr can be an expression that defaults on an address. For 80x51 microcontrollers, the startAddr can contain a Memory Type Specifier.
• endAddr defines the end address of the memory range. endAddr can be an expression that defaults on an address.
• accSize ignore for C51, C251, and C166 toolchains.

Examples

>SAVE c:\temp\memoutput.hex main, main+0x500      /* Output beginning at main                */

>SAVE memoutput.hex  0x100,0x1FF                  /* Output memory between 0x100 and 0x1FF   */

>SAVE memoutput.hex X:0,0x100                     /* Output 256 bytes of the 8051 XDATA      */
                                                  /* external memory beginning at address 0. */
                                                  /* The memory type specifier X was used.   */

Note

• The internal RAM from I:0x80 to I:0xFF of a 8051 or 251 microcontroller cannot be saved.
