I am not certain what you are asking, nor familiar with the Protues. I am assuming the Protues is a certain model of chip programmer??

To generate a HEX file, you'll need the original source code for the project and then run this through an Assembler or Compiler. This process will generate the hex file.

There are several "flavors" of HEX files. Some common ones are Intel Hex, Motorola S-Record, and Tektronics format.

The structure of all three are actually very similar. The file is plain text, HEX representations of the storage address inside the EPROM, the data, and usually a checksum appended to the end of each line.

If you already have one "flavor" and simply need to convert it so something the Proteus can understand (and really, if it can't understand Intel Hex, what good is it??), there are several programs that can do the conversion for you. I have one from Avocet Systems circa 1990 that works wonders!

If you don't have a hex file, you'll basically need to research embedded software programming topics first. Good luck. -mpm
