Accessing ihex file

[dimax un]

Thanks.
I'm thinking to use objcopy as a reference code.
I need to write application to send ihex file in via GPRS to the
target for FW update.
But I do not want to send it as ASCII Hex as receiving part is not
capable to parse it. So I'll have to convert it into binary buffer.
