Hello, I found a disassembly tool for ccs5.5 named dis55.exe, but it can't parse the bin file which gernerated by ccs5.4. Please tell me what's th disassembly tool for ccs5.4?

    From looking at your other recent post, I conclude you build for a TM4C device and thus use the TI ARM compiler.  The standalone disassembler for the ARM is called armdis.exe.  It is in the same directory as all the other compiler tools.  A typical directory location is ...

    C:\ti\ccsv6\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-arm_5.2.4\bin

    The input to the disassembler is not the raw binary file, but the final_executable.out file created by the linker.

    Thanks and regards,

    -George

    Hi George, thank you for your reply.
    I found the armdis.exe in C:\ti\ccsv5\tools\compiler\arm_5.0.4\bin。According to your point of view，the .bin file can't be disassemled? I only burn the .bin file on the TM4C device , even if a hacker get the device, my code is still safe?

    A binary file can be disassembled; for instance, if the program is loaded up in CCS, it will show the disassembly. A third party could write a tool that could disassemble it from the command line. However, the existing tool armdis.exe cannot read the .bin format.

    Thank you for your reply.
    How can I load the bin file in CCS and show the disassembly? Is there some other existing tools in CCS can disassemble the .bin format?

    I don't think there are any tools shipped as part of CCS that could disassemble a .bin format.
    You would need to load the .bin through whatever method you would normally use a .bin file; perhaps a FLASH programmer?

    Use the menu selection Tools -> Load Memory.  One of the file formats accepted is a binary file.

    Once the memory is loaded, you can enter the start address in the text box on the upper left of the disassembly view.

    Thanks and regards,
