Good day,

I have a DFU Flash Bootloader and application now.

We want to package them into a file (e.g., *.bin, hex, dfu) and then burn it to the target board.

What is the best way to achieve the above purpose, Thank you!

Hello Ray,

Best Regards,

Hello Ray,

Please reference the Arm assembly tools manual for the section Load Image Format: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spnu118y/spnu118y.pdf#page=302

It lacks examples but here is one such use:

Fullscreen

1
armhex application.out boot.out --load_image -o merge.out
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

armhex application.out boot.out --load_image -o merge.out

Best Regards,

Ralph Jacobi

Hi,

There seems to be something missing.

That diagnostic means there must be an overlap in memory between a section from each of the input .out files. To see one possible solution, please view this forum post.

Thanks and regards,
