CCS/IWR1443: rename bin files

Part Number: IWR1443
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I have copied a ccs project file and renamed it. The build process creates .bin and .xer4f files that reflect the name of the original project.  Besides manually changing the .ccsproject and .cproject files, is there a way to update the desired name associated with the .bin and .xer4f files through the gui?

Thanks.

Al

    Hi Allen,

    Really great question!

    So in a labs .projectspec file you'll want to find the label "postBuildStep" where you'll see the names of the files that will be created. You can change those names however you'd like.

    If you're editing a project for IWR1642 make sure you edit the .projectspec for both the DSS and MSS.


    Cheers,

    Hi Akash,

    Thanks for the reply. I see the file in the labs directory as you mentioned and the label in the file too. I am surprised that this information would not be in the ccs workspace directory for the project. Are you telling me that during the build, it reaches back to the lab directory for this information or that should include the .projectspec file in my project directory? I am actually working with a 1443 part and in the lab directory, it is called mmw_mss_14xx.projectspec.

    I see that I should really just edit the makefile in the Debug and Release directories.

    Hi Akash,

    I changed the make file and the build process still created the original file names. I see that the .ccsproject does reference the file you mentioned

    <origin value="/home/akd/ti/mmwave_industrial_toolbox_2_5_1/labs/demo0004-mmwave-sdk/demo0004_mmwave_sdk_pjt/mmw_mss_14xx.projectspec"/>

    and there is a .cproject where if I manually change the file names, I get the desired build results but I find this awkward and prone to errors.

    So if I change the mmw_mss_14xx.projectspec file, will the .cproject and .ccsproject be modified too? I would like to leave the original lab file untouched and left in its original form.

    Hi Al,

    Modifying the .projectspec file will result in a modified .cproject and .ccsproject as well.

    Can I ask for what reason you're trying to change the binary names?

    Hi Akash,

    I wanted to reflect the purpose of the binary in its name.  I have made a number of projects from a core project.  Each project has its own purpose with different characteristics.  Have the same binary name permits confusion an potential error.

    Thanks for the guidance.
