tiobj2bin.bat with hex6x ?

Georgem said:

It seems when I substitute hex6x for %hexcmd% that it insists that %hextmp% have a .out suffix (while the .bat file uses .tmp) ... changing to .out seems to work.

I can't explain that.  %hextmp% is a temporary text file which holds the output from running mkhex4bin.

Maybe some input checking in hex6x that is too paranoid? It certainly reads as text, containing the ROM directive hex6x is looking for when using -image.

Georgem said:

No error though, is it assuming -b is --byte ?

No.  The -b option is not documented.  It stands for binary.  You get raw binary output.

Thanks, the output seems to make sense and match what the simulator puts into memory.

I ended up hacking the .bat into a script after all, should I post it somewhere ?

I'd appreciate that.  Post it here as an attachment.  Use the paper clip icon in the post edit interface.  Then put a link to this thread in the cg_xml wiki article.  Or, something like that.

Thanks and regards,

Here's the shell script version, note I had to fiddle with the filename to permit attachment and also set the default tools to match my hex6x, ofd6x.

# file.out - The TI .out file to convert to binary.  Can be COFF or ELF.
# file.bin - Name the binary output file
# ofd      - The object file display (ofd) utility command to invoke, with
