TMS320F280025: Output .bin format

Johnny Chen

Part Number: TMS320F280025

Hi Champ,

I am asking for my customer. They would want to have .bin output format.

Would you please show me the set up for having the .bin output format ?

I am doing the step with Enable ' C2000 HEX Utility - > set the Specify memory width to 16 and Specify rom width to 16 in General Options -> Select Binary (for DSKs) (--binary, -b) in Output Format Options .

While the customer follows the steps, and look up the final output .bin file. They discover the content of .bin format which it doesn't match the content from the Intel hex format, and also showing the errors after Rebuild project. The error wouldn't show by build icon.

gmake: *** [all] Error 2

gmake[1]:***[project_name.bin]- Error - 1073741819

May I make sure is there any missing setting for the .bin output format ?

Thanks and regards,

Johnny

Hi Johnny,

Please take a look at this page:

https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_hex-utility.html

Are they using --intel parameter?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Santosh,

Thanks for providing the information. I think below forum is quite close to what the customer wants.

https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000-microcontrollers-group/c2000/f/c2000-microcontrollers-forum/1045499/tms320f280049c-how-to-get-the-bin-file-from-the-ccs

Could you show me the doc. where the adding sentences in the post-build step comes from ?

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

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

Thanks and Regards,

Johnny

Johnny,

Did you take a look at this e2e thread? In this thread George explains the command:

Santosh,

Thanks for the notice. I could produce the binary format (.bin) with adding the command in post-build step, it is solved.

One more question, in the below screenshot, is the Binary (for DSKs) (--binary, -b) Output format different from what I am actually looking for (.bin file), correct ? I tried once, while it didn't produce the file which as I wanted in a binary format.
