Yes I have seen all this post but unfortunately It did not fix my problem, I am using this post step build : hex2000 APP.out bootloader.out --section_name_prefix="data" --load_image -o ROM_simple.obj but I can't load the ROM_simple_obj file into the MCU

Can you elaborate what is ROM_simple.obj and how you are generating this file.

when you merge APP.out and bootloader.out i expect another .out file. are you loading the final .out file into MCU ?

Thank you for your answer, I want to have a final.out but I didn't find the correct commande line to do it so for now I have this ROM_simple.obj, this should be my final.out

I have tryed this : hex2000.exe boot.out application.out --section_name_prefix="data" --load_image -o merge.out, but the merge.out file is small and I can't load it.

What version of hex2000 do you use?  Run the command hex2000 --help to see the version.

Please put the files boot.out and application.out in a zip file, and attach it to your next post.

Thanks and regards,

-George

hello, the version is : v18.1.4.LTS, I can't send you the boot and application cause it's a confidential project...

I can't load it.

Are you trying to load merge.out with CCS?  If not, exactly how do you load it?

Thanks and regards,

thank you for your time, yes I am trying to load it with ccs by using select program to load.

Have a good day

Arnaud,

George is going to be out for a few days.  If you don't want to attach the .out files to this public forum another option is to send a private message to George.  If you put your mouse over his name it should give you the option to start a private conversation.  The information exchanged there would only be visible to you and him.

Regards,

John
