Question:
Is there any way to generate a checksum based on a generated .OUT file?
Ideally a tool to generate the checksum before flashing the output file. Then inside the application a built-in test to calculate the checksum during run-time and compare it with the generated checksum.
Answer:
The feature is included in the C28x compiler V6.0.1 or later. Please see the readme that comes with the compiler regarding the subject. This feature allows the user to specify sections that the linker will generate CRC data for. The user can then check this run-time against a CRC calculated by a checker in the application.
Does CCS V3.3 supports compiler V6.0.1 or later? We are using F28335 processor and current compiler version is 5.2.11
