MSPM0L1304: How to generate binary (intel format .Hex and binary .bin file)

Hi GR,

Could you help to clarify below information

GR said:

generated file may be wrong

Does that mean the TI-TXT format image is no problem and hex or bin image file that generate with the same project are not work?

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your supporting.

Yes,

TI-TXT (.txt) and .out file works nomally. (If write MSPM0L1306 by uniflash, it works)

But .bin and .hex file that generated conpleatly same project was not works.

GR

Ok, could you share me the project? And show me how to monitor it running well not?

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your supporting.

I will send CCS project, .out/.txt/.bin/.hex file, note of issues in private chat.

Best regards,

GR

I have put this thread to CCS support team, due to it is the issue to generate the Intel hex format file is not correct. The project as attached. When you generate the hex file by CCS, it is 0 at reset handler interrupt table that is not correct.But when you generate the TI-TXT format there is no issue.

The CCS project does not work for me.  So I'm not sure of the entire solution.  But I can see one mistake to correct.  To create the Intel hex file you expect, you have to add the option --romwidth=32.  Make that change in the first screen shot shown in the first post.

Thanks and regards,

Hi George,

Thanks for your comments.

make the change below

The data will be correct. But the data mode is wrong. As below, the correct data at 0x0 address should be 0x20000800, but it is 0x800002

Do you know how to make the change?

Please show the first few lines of the Intel hex file.  What does it show is at address 0?  Please copy and paste the text, and do not use a screen shot.

Thanks and regards,

-George

Hi George,

Thanks for your information.

I tested --romwidth32 option, however generated hex file was incorrect.

(I tested M0 SDK gpio_toggle_output example)

first load was sucess, but after try to load, It was not solved the issue.

This is generated intel .hex file with --romwidth=32 option.

I have notice this should be a endianness issue. But when I try to make some endianness configurations below

It will show the error 

any comments?

Don't use the load image options.  They are not related to this problem.

In the first post it says ...

My customer trying generate .hex and .bin file for mass production.

I've shown how to generate a binary file, an Intel hex file with one endianness, and a TI-TXT hex file of opposite endianness.  With regard this requirement, what is missing?

Thanks and regards,

-George

Hi George,

Sorry I am missing there. Could you help to clarify where to put what commands in the CCS? It is better to show a picture for that,thanks.

Hi George, Gary,

Thanks for your supporting.

George Mock said:

Do not use tiarmhex to create a binary file.  Instead, use tiarmobjcopy.  Here is a sample command ...

By George's advice, I tried to  Arm Objcopy Utility. (ARM hex utility is using tiarmhex.exe)

Result, the generated intel hex file was correct (I could write using Uniflash and It worked as expected.)

I understand our issue was the probrem on hex generate tool.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

GR

Hi GR,

So are you do that using the command window like this?(copy the .out file first into the C:\ti\ccs1250\ccs\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-armllvm_3.2.0.LTS\bin)

Gary Gao said:

No,

I use "arm object Utility" instead of Arm Hex Utility.

because arm hex utility is using tiarmhex, and arm objcopy utility using tiarmobjcopy.

Best regards,

GR

Hi GR,

ok, what's the command and where you put it? Could you give a picture? Thanks

Hi Gary,

My way is not need command.

If arm object utility using, the command will be auto generate.

We could see command by build log.

Best regards,

GR

Ok, got it. I can also generate the hex file that can work. 

Hi George,

But it seems hex file is not Intel-hex file, do you know which format of the hex file that generate by the tiarmobjcopy?

Hi Gary,

Have you set 4rth options page "format of output file" ?
