create .bin output in CCS 5.5

Hi,

How do I create .bin output in CCS 5.5. I can't find where post build steps can be included in the build process either.

Thanks

Glenn

  • If you right-click on the project in the Project Explorer window (for example, I used "blinky"), at the bottom of the menu is the Properties option.

    In the Properties dialog, there are four major sections (Resource, General, Build, Debug).  Select the "Build" section.

    In the "Build" section, there are a number of tabs, select the "Steps" tab.

    In the "Steps" tab, there are sections for "Pre-build steps" and "Post-build steps".  In the "Post-build steps" section, add the following command line.

    "${CCE_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin" "${BuildArtifactFileName}" "${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armofd" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armhex" "${CCE_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin"

    You can also import one of the Tivaware example apps to see how this is done.

  • Hello Glenn,

    For examples in TIVAWare the same is already embedded in the CCS Project files. If you are trying to build a custom project then right-click on the Project -> Show Build Settings -> Build ->

    There in the "Steps" Tab add the following to the "Post-build steps"

    "${CCE_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin" "${BuildArtifactFileName}" "${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armofd" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armhex" "${CCE_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin"

    Regards

  • Ok Thanks!

    I just wasn't looking carefully enough at the dialog. Once I saw the steps tab all was clear.

    Thanks again
