14 years agoThe objcopy utility can probably do that. It is part of the GNU toolchain, which is something that you may already have installed. In a cross-compiling toolchain the file name would normally begin with a target prefix, e.g. nios2-elf-objcopy or arm-eabi-objcopy etc. A bin to hex conversion is normally architecture-independent, so it doesn't really matter which toolchain to use.
I'm not sure if objcopy and Quartus II programmer speak the same .hex, but most likely they do.
