Description

The simulator has supported HFP (hexadecimal floating point) option for DPS8M CPUs since simulator R3.0.0 and this functionality has been well tested through the R3.0.1 release cycle - it would be great to enable this feature for users of the default QuickStart distribution. I see no downsides to enabling this support.

Simply adding set cpu0 config=hex_mode_installed=1 to the INI file used for booting the MR12.9 QuickStart system should be sufficient.
