TMS320F280049C: How to get the bin file from the CCS

jinshui wang

Part Number: TMS320F280049C

Hello:

I want to get the "bin file" for upgrade,So I add the below in the post-build step of the CCS.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"${CCS_INSTALL_DIR}/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin.bat" "${BuildArtifactFileName}" "${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin"

"${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/ofd2000.exe""${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/hex2000.exe" "${CCS_INSTALL_DIR}/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin.exe"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I get the bin file,but the bin file size is 944kb,it is larger than out file。I check the bin file, The address 0x0~0xe4000 fill the 0x0.

How can i get the bin file on the F280049 project?

CCS Version: 10.2.0.00009

Please Help me asap...

Best regard.

Hi,

Th tiobj2bin command fills any holes in the memory sections within the .out file with 0. Uninitialized sections at the beginning, or at the end, are skipped. and it puts all the initialized sections in the .bin file. Any uninitialized sections that occur between initialized sections Or any holes in memory between initialized section are filled with 0.

In your case, there is probably a large uninitialized sections that is getting filled with 0. As you have seen, this can result in a huge .bin file.

Change your linker command file so your initialized sections are all allocated next to each other.
