CCS: CCS6.2: Is there any simple way to call perl script after building the project

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

My customer need to call out2bin exe to change the executable file to bin then to call perl script to add crc info to the bin.

We know that we can add post-build steps in project build option to run out2bin. But how to run perl script? I found below link and I think it is complex and it needs to run manually, not automatically after build. Is there any simple way?

  • Hi Chris,
    The link you referenced is to automate the debugger through a Perl script. I don't think this is what the customer wants. They simply want to run a perl script after the build completes. This is quite simple and can be done via post-build step like you mentioned. Assuming that perl is installed on the computer, they can just simply call perl on their script in the post build step like they would from a command line. All the post-build step does is send the whole command to the system command-line to be executed.

    Hope this helps
