This isn't possible. A .hex for an on-chip RAM or ROM is created manually as a separate file (File menu -> New) and then incorporated into a .sof or other programming file. You can't extract a .hex from an existing programming file.
Convert programming file is only used to do just that: convert an existing programming file from one format to another.
My end goal is to write an external FPGA image file in the flash then use it with the Remote Update System to reprogram new FPGA versions. I have the RSU system working, and I can communicate with the Flash, but just trying to test out writing the SOF/POF data to the flash. I wanted to use a ROM to hold the data during testing phase, but not sure what's the best method for testing the flash writing.
