IDA Help: Bad input file format

 The input file does not conform to the following definitions:

Intel Hex Object Format ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ This is the default format. This format is line oriented and uses only printable ASCII characters except for the carriage return/line feed at the end of each line. Each line in the file assumes the following format:

 :NNAAAARRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHCCTT

Where:

All fields marked 'hex' consist of two or four ASCII hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). A maximum of 24 data bytes will be represented on each line.

 :      = Record Start Character
 NN     = Byte Count (hex)
 AAAA   = Address of first byte (hex)
 RR     = Record Type (hex, 00 except for last record which is 01)
 HH     = Data Bytes (hex)
 CC     = Check Sum (hex)
 TT     = Line Terminator (carriage return, line feed)

The last line of the file will be a record conforming to the above format with a byte count of zero (':00000001FF').

The checksum is defined as:

        sum      =  byte_count + address_hi + address_lo +
                        record_type + (sum of all data bytes)
        checksum =  ((-sum) & ffh)

MOS Technology Hex Object Format ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ This format is line oriented and uses only printable ASCII characters except for the carriage return/line feed at the end of each line. Each line in the file assumes the following format:

 ;NNAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHCCCCTT

Where:

All fields marked 'hex' consist of two or four ASCII hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F). A maximum of 24 data bytes will be represented on each line.

 ;      = Record Start Character
 NN     = Byte Count (hex)
 AAAA   = Address of first byte (hex)
 HH     = Data Bytes (hex)
 CCCC   = Check Sum (hex)
 TT     = Line Terminator (carriage return, line feed)

The last line of the file will be a record with a byte count of zero (';00').

The checksum is defined as:

        sum      =  byte_count + address_hi + address_lo +
                        (sum of all data bytes)
        checksum =  (sum & ffffh)
