Hello team,

Customer's sowfware platform is required to HEX format file to do the image upgrade.

For now, CCS can output the bin file which contain file header, and checknum in it.

I know that CCS can convert .out file to .hex file by calling C:/ti/ti-cgt-arm_16.9.6.LTS/bin/armhex to do that.

But, can we use CCS to add hex format header to convert BIN file to HEX file by CCS tools?

If yes, how can i do it?

Thanks,

Wesley

Wesley,

We may need to check this with the CCS tools team. Moving the thread to CCS Org.

Unfortunately, no. The only tool supplied by TI which outputs a hex file is the armhex utility. The only input accepted by armhex is a .out file. Bin files are not accepted.

Thanks and regards,
