converting .out to .hex

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5308

Hi.

I'm using a MSP430F5308 with CCS v4.

I need to convert the compiled .out file to a .hex file.
In order to do that I added a " Create flash image: Intel-Hex" as "Post-build step" in the C/C++ Build Properties window as in the following picture:

At the end of the compiling process the .out file is converted to a .hex. However I get the following warning:

I do not know what this warning means. Is it normal? Can I trust the .hex file that I get in this way?

Regards,

Carloalberto

HI Carloalberto,

is there a specific reason you seem to try to do the hex creation both manually and from the drop down menu? Selecting to generate hex from the dropdown with our predefined step should be enough.

Although you should be able to ignore the warning, do you still get the warning if you use only the version from the drop down?

Best Regards,
Lisa

HI Lisa,

thank you for your reply.

I do not understand what you mean for drop down menu.

I just configure the "post build step" and when i compile the project at the end i get the .hex automatically (and of course the .out).

I have also tried to convert the .out with the

C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments\ccsv4\tools\compiler\msp430\bin\hex430.exe

but i get the same warning ( i suppose the post build step is done calling automatically hex430.exe).

Hi Carloalberto,

sorry, my appologies. The fields get automatically populated.

You should be able to safefly ignore the warning. I believe it has something to do with the hex standard/formatting.

Hope this helps.

Lisa
