Convert to Intel Hex Format at the Command Line

You can convert a bitstream file to Intel Hex and other formats at the command line using this command:

export_bitstream.py [--help] [--family FAMILY] [--idcode IDCODE] [--freq FREQ]
    [--sdr_size SDR_SIZE] [--tir_length TIR_LENGTH] [--hir_length HIR_LENGTH]
    [--tdr_length TDR_LENGTH] [--hdr_length HDR_LENGTH] [--enter_user_mode {on, off}]
    format input_file output_file

Table 1. export_bitstream.py Positional Arguments
Argument	Input	Description
format	hex_to_bin, hex_to_intelhex, bin_to_hex, intelhex_to_hex, hex_to_svf	Conversion type.
input_file	Filename	Image file source.
output_file	Filename	Image file destination.

Table 2. export_bitstream.py Options
Option (Long)	Option (Short)	Input	Description
--help	-h	None	Show help.
--family	N/A	Family name	Device family (SVF only)
--idcode	N/A	Identification code	JTAG IDCODE (SVF only).
--freq	N/A	Number	JTAG frequency (SVF only).
--sdr_size	N/A	Number	Approximate JTAG `shift_dr` size before cycling to idle state (SVF only).
--tir_length	N/A	Number	JTAG bypass trailer instruction register length (SVF only).
--hir_length	N/A	Number	JTAG bypass header instruction register length (SVF only).
--tdr_length	N/A	Number	JTAG bypass header data register length (SVF only).
--enter_user_mode	N/A	on, off	Enter user mode after JTAG configuration (SVF only).

The following example shows conversion of the bitstream hex file to bin format:
