CCS/TMS320LF2407A: Compiler/TMS320LF2407A:

Part Number: TMS320LF2407A

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am running CCS3.3 under XP on a virtual machine. Host machine is windows 10. I am able to build this code for the 2407a successfully. The problem is I am not able to run the f240_hex utility. Under windows ten it complains that it cannot run it on a 64 bit machine.
No problem I will run it under the VM with XP in a command prompt. I get a return that it "cannot execute" ..\..\"f240_hex.exe". It does not matter whether the *.out file is input when the f240_hex is invoked or not (just the executable is run). I get the same "Cannot execute" message.
I see there is a similar post on the forum, but I don't see a resolution to the issue.

I have looked into using the dsphex file. I tried this with all the formats and could not find a format that match the output format from the f240_hex.

Does anyone have this hex converter working or have another that puts out the correct format. I need this for serial flash programming.

    Hello Hareesh,


    Thanks. Found out some more information today. Under the Virtual machine guest (windows XP command prompt) I found if I move the F240_hex up to parent folders (reducing the path where it is located) I can execute the f240_hex untility successfully. If I move it further down the folder tree, making its location path longer, I will get the "cannot execute w:\folder1\folder12\folder123\folder1234\f240_hex.exe" message. Its like the environment/os can't run the file if it location has a long name/string, but the error message puts out the entire path.

    Not sure why this is!?

    Kevin,

                   It doesn’t appear the problem is in f240_hex per se, but in the VM that fails to start it when it is located in a directory with a path that exceeds some limit. From your last post, it looks like the utility still works as advertised, i.e. in the Windows environment where it was developed. There are no plans to release a new version of the f240_hex tool.
