AM2432: Converting appimage file to Hex format to program over CAN using UDS

Part Number: AM2432
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UNIFLASH, CCSTUDIO

Tool/software:

I have an appimage that I can program using the Uniflash tool.  How can I convert that to a hex format so I can program it over CAN using the UDS protocol?

    No need. Make hex files directly from CCSTUDIO by enabling the Arm Hex Utility:

    Enabling the Arm Hex Utility adds a conversion to create a hex file from the .out file that is built.  To burn the code into flash for an AM243x, the .out file is processed and signed and converted to a .appimage file.  I need to convert the .appimage file to a hex file so that tools other than Uniflash can use it. 

    I've tried invoking tiarmhex with various options but with no success.  It looks like tiarmhex can only work on .out files, but I could be missing something.  I just want to treat the .appimage as a binary file and convert it to a intel hex format.
