Generating .bin files from .out using hex470 command prompt

Hi Cam,

What processor are you using ?

c:\directory\hex6x.exe -b V2AcqSys.out -o V2AcqSys.bin

Depends on the processor, you may need to convert ".out" to ".bin" or ".ais" through "rprc" tool or "AISHex gen tool.

SM32C6713BGDPM30EP is the full processor number on the chip.

Hi Cam,

The hex6 utility is used to convert the *.out into *.hex file.

Please visit iw6000_workshop_(v3.1a).pdf for more details on hex6 utility.

Regards,

Shankari

Hi Cam,

Are you able to run the program ".out" on your board successfully through emulator (GUI CCS) ?

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Flashing_the_C6713_EVM

I am able to run the program through the debugger, but the nature of my system, and it's interaction with the computer it's connected to, I must flash a bin through in-house software in order to use the system after power down.

I may have been confused with the hex6, and hex470 and other similar utilities.

My end goal is to create a .bin.  Whatever the best way.  The reason I started with hex, as I saw a hex2bin program in the projects folder.  But with virtually no documentation on this project, I will take whatever path I need to get a binary.

Thanks-Cam

Hi Cam,

I think that hex470 tool is for ARM and hex6 tool for DSP (C6000)

Let me confirm.

hex470 -> To generate .hex from ARM app

hex6 -> To generate .hex from DSP app

Have you tried to create .hex using "hex6" ?

You have to flash the .hex file into flash using the following TI wiki.

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Flashing_the_C6713_EVM

After reading through the wiki page, the recommended instructions will not work for my product.

The procedure for programming my device is roughly this:
1) Open and run file in code composer through XDS USB JTAG emulator
2) Open proprietary internal software and flash binary file to system

I recognize that the wiki is complete and proper for hex conversion, but I simply must have a binary file for my application.

Is there no way to create a binary file from any of the conversion utilities?  I know that binaries were created in previous versions of this product, but there is no documentation that explains how it was done.
