eeprom.bin

I want to make a eeprom programmer which has to write a bin file to serial eeprom.

I dont know the format of the bin file.

Any article or definitions of bin file may be helpful

eeprom data format

a bin file contains the raw data, exactly the bytes that needs to be written to the eeprom.
 
eeprom file format

Thanks M!k

What about the address?

Does it start at 0 and goes on..
or the address is in the bin file?

Please clarify this doubt

Regards

eeprom bin file

there is no address in a bin file, just the plain data. Usually the first byte goes to eeprom address 0, second byte to address 1, etc.

I have to open the bin file and send it to the micro using either rs232 or usb.
If you have any examples, articles regarding opening and processing of bin file, please forward to me. This would be a great help.

eeprom file formats

If you are going to use the memory just to store information, then you can select any address you want, of course address 0 is the most common practice.

If the EEPROM is going to store a microcontroller program then it can be a little bit different, and this will depend on the microcontroller type.
 

how to write bin in eeprom

Thanks for everyone

It is simple as everyone answered. The file is stored from the starting address 0 till the end of the memory location.

Just read the file from the first location and write it in the first location.
I read and write as bytes (8bits) at a time

I am ready to help anyone in this regards
