CCS: .out file as .coff file for simulation in proteus.

SHREYA SOOD

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Proteus does not recognize .out file generated by code composer studio as .coff file for simulation.It shows the following error...

Can't find appropriate loader for program "..\..\..\workspace_v6_1_3\led_blink\Debug\led_blink.out"

Can't load program "..\..\..\workspace_v6_1_3\led_blink\Debug\led_blink.out"

Real Time Simulation failed to start.

How can this be resolved?

(i had read in one of the threads that .out file is in .coff file format but i am not able to use it the same way for simulation in proteus )

Hello,
Note that for some devices, CCS will default to ELF instead of COFF. If you need COFF format, check the build output type for your project and set it to COFF.

Thanks

Code Composer Studio can generate COFF or ELF depending on the build options that you are using. What device is this for?

In CCSv6.1.3 the defaults would be:
C2000 - COFF
MSP430 - ELF
ARM based devices - ELF
C66/C674x - ELF
C55x - COFF

Hello,

Thank you for answering.I used *.elf for MSP430 and it worked out well for me...:-)
