Hi Team,

Here's an issue from the customer may need your help:

CCS12.1.0

Under normal circumstances, the Bin file of the same project should be smaller than Hex.

But the .bin file the customer generated is 128K, The .hex file is only 45K.

Thanks & Regards,

There is probably a large hole in the memory map. In binary file, the only way to represent such a hole is to fill it. For more details, and how you might address it, please see the article An Introduction to Binary Files.

Thanks and regards,
