CCS Tool "armembed.exe "

Tony Hanratty4

Where can I find the manuals/documentation for the individual compiler tools in..

...\ccsv6\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-arm_5.2.6\bin

I am specifically looking for info on armembed.exe but would ideally like the documentation on all of them.

I'm tackling the seemingly perennial problem of embedding a binary blob in a firmware output file. This is something GCC does with ease, and I am finding it hard to believe that using CSS you have to massage the blob into a C byte array or somesuch work around. Hence the question on the tools folder.

Many thanks.

    The armembed utility does not solve your problem.  There are several "helper" utilities in the compiler tools /bin directory, and this is one of them.  These helper utilities are not documented.  Their interface is subject to change at any time, with no notice.   For the curious, this utility embeds compiler intermediate code in an object file, for possible later use when building under --opt_level=4.

    The TI compiler tools provide no standard solution for directly placing a binary file into system memory.

    Thanks and regards,
