Converts ELF files to HEX files that are suitable for Verilog's readmemh.

freedom-elf2hex

./freedom-elf2hex [--help] --bit-width BIT_WIDTH --input INPUT.ELF [--output OUTPUT.HEX]

SiFive's Verilog test harnesses can't directly read ELF binaries but are instead required to be provided with a hexidecimal dump of a particular width and depth. This project allows users to easily create these files.
