Can CCS5.2 tiobj2bin.bat method be used to generate TI6414 ASCII-hex binary

Hi Mira,

there is still a hex6f found in the compiler/bin folder of your ccsv5 installation.  Eg

C:\CCS\5_3\ccsv5\tools\compiler\c6000_7.4.1\bin

Please give that a try and keep us informed.  Or is this not what you are looking for?   Note that these tools are compiler dependant ie you should use the version in the compiler folders for the compiler version you use.

Hope this helps.

Hi Lisa,

thanks for the prompt response.

I have found the new version of hex6x.exe in ..\ccv5\.. and compared to ..\ccv3_1\c6000\cgtools\bin\hex6x.exe. The two seem to generate the same binary for the same .out as input. 

In CCS v.5.2 User's Guide for MSP430 one may find Section 2.1.5 How to Generate  Binary Format Files (TI-TXT and INTEL-HEX). I'd like to know whether/how hex6x utility can be invoked from CCS5.2 for ASCII format.

Mira

Hi Mirjana,

I am a bit confused as you appear to have been using tools in teh C6000 directories but are now asking about the msp430.  What target(s) are you using? 

For the msp430 in CCS if you go to Project->Properties->Build you should see a tab for Build steps.  In the build steps tab there should be a drop down for "Apply Predefined Build Step" with a few options included.

Is this what you were looking for?

Hi Lisa,

we're using TMS320C6416T. To generate binary from CCS 3.1 .out file we're using hex6x.exe invoked from batch file outside of CCS 3.1.

We are considering moving our project from CCS 3.1 to CCS 5.2. Does CCS 5.2 support  TI'6416 hex6x utility  that could be invoked in a post build manner similar to msp430 or we should continue using it outside of CCS.

Thanks a lot,

Mira

Hi Mirjana,

if you go to the post build steps tab we were discussing earlier on the thread, for the C6000 you can simply add the post build step there manually and do the same as we have predefined for the msp430.

You can enter add exactly as you would on the command line.  Please give that a try and keep us informed.
