    The .out file includes debugging (and a bit of program loading) information.

    The 16kb CCS limitation is on the flash memory segment, not the output file. One way to see this is in the linkers map file. In the same folder as the <project name>.out, look for <project name>.map

    MEMORY CONFIGURATION

         name            origin    length      used     unused   attr    fill
----------------------  --------  ---------  --------  --------  ----  --------
  FLASH                 0000e000   00001fe0  000000c0  00001f20  RWIX

    There will be a bunch of other sections, but the FLASH section shows how much is used ( 0xc0 in my example).

    Another way to find all the gory details is using the ofd430.exe command line tool, but that's probably way too much info for getting started.
