CODECOMPOSER: Best Way to Load A Data Hex File To Memory While Debugging

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM263P4-Q1

Hello,

I have an Intel hex file full of data for OCRAM for AM263P4-Q1. I want to load that data to memory while debugging.

1) What is the best method to load the hex file? Is it by GEL or .js script?

2) I looked at 8.7.8.57. GEL_MemoryLoadData() — CCStudio IDE 21.0.1 Documentation . It says therein " supports loading data in additional formats" but does not say what formats. Does it support Intel hex files?

if necessary, I can make a .bin file.

Thank you.

Hi Kier,

For raw data dump to RAM, I would suggest a binary format. There are both GEL and CCS Scripting calls you can use:

Intel hex is supported by the program loaded but I assume you are just trying to load raw hex data. Now, there are APIs for loading TI *.dat files like GEL_MemoryLoad(). TI *.dat files are basically text files with the values represented in various formats like hex, int, float, etc. However, you have a pure intel hex format which is different

Thanks

Thanks Ki.

I made a raw .bin file instead and used GEL_LoadBin.
