AM623: MCU SDK CCS project strip .out file size

Tony Tang

Part Number: AM623

Tool/software:

I am working on the ti-dm issue, find the CCS project generated strip .out file is much larger than command line.

The blue one is generated by command line: .\tiarmstrip.exe -p .\ipc_rpmsg_echo_linux_am62x-sk_r5fss0-0_freertos_ti-arm-clang.out -o test-strip-driver-patched.out

but both can work as DM.

There should be something wrong in CCS post build command script.

Hi Tony,

Please share the makefile and makefile_ccs_bootimage_gen file of the project.

Hi Tushar,

You can check on the MCU SDK, I did not change it.

Hi Tony,

Looks like you are using an extra flag -p with the command which strips additional info from linked object file.

Please refer below image.

You can replace the line that start from $(STRIP) from makefile_ccs_bootimage_gen file with the below code.

$(STRIP) -p -o=$(PROFILE)/ipc_rpmsg_echo_linux.wkup-r5f0_0.strip.out $(OUTFILE)

Now you should be able to see the same results.

Regards,

Tushar

It is the command in makefile, if it is the problem, will you file a jira to fix it in next revision?

I will check this with the dev team and let you know whether it is intentionally done or we need to add the -p flag.

Later than I can file Jira ticket if required.

But I did not find -p option append to strip command:

Yes, correct. The option is not there by default in the makefile, you need to manually add this.

Have you tested the newly created *.out binary with -p flag? Does it works properly?

Yes, it works with -p option stripped .out.

Thanks for the confirmation. I did created a Jira ticket for it to update the flag in the makefiles.
