I cannot find the option to switch from ELF to COFF output format in CCS 20.3. I'm sure Im opverlooking it but could use some help.

Thanks

It is a known issue with CCS 20.x. The option to switch the output type is not exposed.

Thanks for the response. This says there isn't an intuitive way to make the change, do you know of an unintuitive way?

I suppose you can manually modify the compiler flag in the project.

What device are you working with?

You can try changing the below flag to "coffabi" instead of "eabi"

This would change the compilation option for COFF. But note that there may be other manual changes you may need to consider such as making sure the proper rts lib and other object files linked in. This not really a supported way to change the file type but you can try experimenting with it.

Thanks
