Hello,
I have a data file that is in intel-hex format. Do i need to convert that to C code? Or can i upload the hex files directly through CCS? If so, Please tell the procedures of getting the data loaded (which is in intel hex format) into CCS.
Hi Harika,
This is typically possible, however may be device dependant.
Which device are you using? I can hopefully then send you the directions on how to do the flash programming from CCS if possible!
Best Regards,
Lisa
Thanks Lisa. I'm using MSP-EXPFR5739 and also the data is in tabular format not executable code.
Hi Harika,
what format exactly do you have? Is it intel hex?
If it is intel hex or TI .txt format, then actually you are best off to use a free recommended flash programmer from Elprotronic (www.elprotronic.com)
I will look into the possibilities directly in CCS, but would need to know are you using 4.2 or 5.1? In any case, it will not be the elegant solution.
Cheers,
Lisa
Yes, Intel hex format and if not i can have that converted to binary format too. And the version i'm using is CCS 4.2.3
Thanks Lisa, looking forward for your solution.
Hello again Harika,
ok, there actually for those formats are no CCS options. The best, as mentioned, is to use the free Elprotronic tool (www.elprotronic.com).

I hope this helps. Sorry there is not a more elegant solution, but because Elprotronic has such a nice tool, it seems it was seen as reproduction to have the same thing in CCS.
IAR can load a hex file, if you really still wish for a compiler environment.
Best Regards,
Lisa
