Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2471

I know how to get a .hex from CCS4 IDE. But now that I have updated to CCS5, I don't see how to do it anymore.

Thanks in advance

    Hi Mike,

    what target are you using?   Have you tried Project->Properties->Build- and then in the "Build Steps" tab see "Apply Predefined Steps"

    Please keep us informed.

    Hi Lisa,

    Thanks for the quick reply. The target device is MSP430F2471. The steps you mentioned are what I used to do in CCS4. In version 5 of CCS, however, "Build Steps" is not listed anywhere I could find in project properties.

    Hi Mike,

    what exact CCS version and compiler version do you have?  The compiler version can be checked under Window->Preferences->Code COmposer Studio->Build->Code Generation Tools.

    Can you send a screenshot?

    I just tried in 5.1.1 and have no issues finding this tab or option.  Please see my screeshot.

    Best Regards,

    Lisa

    Ops,

    The only thing I forgot to do was to actually click on the "Build" text. I just kept on clicking the "-" sign to expand it. I must appologize for this mistake.

    Thanks a lot Lisa. I appreciate your quick response. I will mark your reply as "answered the question".

    Thanks again,

    -Mike

    Hi Mike,

    no worries, that's what we're here for and we don't all work with CCS daily :  )

    All the best with development.

    Best Regards,

    That's okay, Mike. You're post helped to solve my problem. I hadn't used CCS4 or 5 before.

    Hi

    I am working on CCSv5.5 , I did all the steps mentioned above but still didn't get any ".hex" file. Are there any other steps which needs to be done and not mentioned above?  

    To be more explicit I perform the following steps

    1. write code >> save it. (.out)

    2. Build the code keeping the settings mentioned above

    3. Make target configuration file. (.ccxml) , debug it , it runs fine.

    but in the entire process don't get a ".hex" file. 
    What is it that I am doing wrong.?
