CCS 5.3 missing a couple files / tools?

Doug Baker

I was upgrading from Version: 5.1.0.07001 to Version: 5.3.0.00090 and I can't find a couple of files I use for the post build step to create a .bin file. The files I used were ofd470.exe and hex470.exe. My post build step was: "${CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin.bat" "${BuildArtifactFileName}" "App_GCB_vXX.bxxxxx_.bin" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/ofd470.exe" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/hex470.exe" "${CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin.exe"

Did I install 5.3 wrong or is there a different way I should create the .bin file now?

Thnaks,

Doug

Have a look at "armofd.exe" and "armhex.exe" in the ccsv5\tools\compiler\arm_*\bin folder. The TMS470 compiler had been renamed to ARM, and the various executables have also been renamed.

Is there any documenation / help files on these tools?

Thanks,

Doug

Hi Doug,

Both tools are documented in the ARM Assembly Language User's Guide:

Hi,

I encounterd the same trouble and I found the armofd.exe and armhex.exe tools, But where are the /utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin.bat and utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin.exe in CCS5.3? Is there any illustration about these modifications？

Thx

Simon

They are still in the same location: <CCS INSTALL DIR>\ccsv5\utils\tiobj2bin

Could be. Do you see a .\utils folder at least? And if so, what subfolders do you see in there (I see 'bin', 'cygwin', and 'tiobj2bin')

I've attached the tiobj2bin folder from my 5.3.0 install. Hopefully you can just drop that in and you aren't missing any other dependencies.

If these utilities were missing from your install, please see this post which explains the reason why this may have happened, and how to resolve.

In CCS 5.4 I believe the default installer should install these utilities no matter which processors are selected in the installer.
