I am currently working on software for MSP430F5438 processor. Up until this point I have been running a link that creates a loader file which I send to my MSP_FETU430IF pod and load the program-data-and such to the JTAG connections on my production board. I need to create a BIN file type output format file which can be written into flash memory via standard driver library flash_write functions.
In the linker control setup menu's:
I have been up to now selecting a COFF file output format and everything works fine.
but in order to load new executable into memory I need to create a "link step" output file type that is a ROM image. When I try to select that checkbox in CCSV5 the environment "Bitches" at me saying that I can't do it.
But in selecting ELF file output format ROM file works.
My overall question is I want to make a load image file how can I do it?
