CCS6 project settings for TI TXT inconsistent

Ren Schackmann

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TEST2, USB2ANY

I'm trying to generate TI TXT files for BSL loading. I've done this successfully with previous projects. In a project that I inherited, the tool insists on generating a file with the .hex extension even though it is configured for TI TXT. This .hex file appears to have the same format as a TI TXT file, but it causes the 'Python Firmware Upgrader' to crash. Can anyone explain why it does this? 

One of my original projects generates this output:

**** Build of configuration Debug for project msp430-hid-fifo ****

"C:\\ti\\ccsv6\\utils\\bin\\gmake" -k all
'Invoking: MSP430 Hex Utility'
"C:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-msp430_4.4.5/bin/hex430" --memwidth=8 --romwidth=8 --ti_txt -o "msp430-hid-fifo.txt" "msp430-hid-fifo.out"
Translating to TI-TXT format...

The inherited project generates this output with the same Hex Utility settings:

**** Build of configuration test2 for project USB2ANY ****

"C:\\ti\\ccsv6\\utils\\bin\\gmake" -k all
'Invoking: MSP430 Hex Utility'
"C:/ti/ccsv6/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-msp430_4.4.5/bin/hex430" --memwidth=8 --romwidth=8 --ti_txt -o "USB2ANY.hex" "USB2ANY.out"
Translating to TI-TXT format...

Thanks,

Ren

    Hi Ren!
    

    I remember getting a .hex file instead of a .txt file from earlier days. And the program for flashing the file did not accept it. I simply renamed the extension from .hex to .txt and everything was fine. Did you try this already?

    Hi Dennis,
    

    
If I try to load the .hex file, I get an error from the Python Firmware Upgrader. The error happens immediately and appears to be related to reading the file. That's why I think the content is incorrect.
