Hi,

Go to Properties -> Build -> Steps-> Post-build steps -> Apply Predefined Steps

There you can choose to create a flash image in TI-TXT or Intel-Hex format for example.

Hope it helps,
Christian

I guess you are looking for something like

"${CG_TOOL_HEX}" --image ... "${BuildArtifactFileName}" -o "${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin"

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your help.

The predefined steps give me text format, so it's not binary I'm after

I'm not sure with your 2nd post "--image ..."

I tried using tiobj2bin and it gave me binary. However it's too big, about 380KB while I expect 80 KB

The reason I expect 80 KB as it's the size created by TI RPRC tool and it's consistent with the size of the content of TI_TXT format in binary format

Thanks Christian,
