Step 1: Open the Z-stack workspace with IAR and locate the linker file f8w2530.xcl.
The f8w2530.xcl file can be found in the Tools file group in IAR.
To avoid change this file back and forth for debug and release, I copied it to the project folder and added to my release configuration (IAR->Project Option->Linker->Config Tab->Linker Configuration File, override default to the new .xcl)
at Output Tab of Linker, Click the “Override default” option in the “Output file” box and rename the xxx.a51 to xxx.hex
Step 2: Include the linker file –M option by including the 3 lines as shown in the figure below.
// Include these two lines when generating a .hex file for banked code model:
-M(CODE)[(_CODEBANK_START+_FIRST_BANK_ADDR)-(_CODEBANK_END+_FIRST_BANK_ADDR)]*\
_NR_OF_BANKS+_FIRST_BANK_ADDR=0x8000
