Re: what's MIPS& HEX?

Mips (Million Instructions Per Second) is a unit to measure how fast is a microcontroller, microprocessor, etc.

Talking about file formats, HEX is a format that allow you to program uC, Memories, etc. It has information about memory addresses an data into those ICs

Yes, a computer that "can do 500 MIPS" is capable of executing 500 million instructions per second.

Hex is short for hexadecimal, the base-16 number system. A google.com search turned up this:

Mips is also a very known company for RISC CPUs, uC and IP Cores.
