AWR6843AOPEVM: AWR6843AOPEVM Create Bin File

Part Number: AWR6843AOPEVM


Hello all,

As you know there are lots of bin files to use flashing and functional process. For example, 3D_people_track_6843_demo.bin

I'm creating a new project and at the end of this project I want to create my own bin files to embed directly into my card. How can I create my own bin files?

Kind regards,

  • Hey Serhat,

    I would recommend using a pre-existing CCS project and building your project off of that if possible. This will simplify the build process by allowing CCS to link and build the correct files based on the project build settings' compiler and linker flags. The generation of a flashable .bin file is usually handled by an automatically-generated makefile for a given build configuration. This will build the .out/.xer4f/.xe674 file and then pass this file into the Image Creator tools to assemble the final .bin file that can be flashed to the device.

    If you would like to understand this build process more in-depth, you can open the automatically generated makefile in the corresponding build configuration folder of the project - i.e. <project_name>/Debug or <project_name>/Release - and look through the files and flags used. Note: The post-build rule is where the final .bin image is created using the Image Creator tools.

    As mentioned before, most flags and files are set in a project's build settings' compiler and linker flags which can be accessed by right-clicking a project and show build settings. The compiler and linker flags are designated under the Arm Compiler and Arm Linker sections respectively. It may also be useful to look over 6.1.3 Configuring Projects of the CCS User Guide.

    I hope this gave you a rough idea of how to handle building, but please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.

    Regards,
