CCS/MSP430F5359: Can't Generate TI.txt File

Part Number: MSP430F5359
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Support Path: /Other topics/Design techniques and how-to guides/How-to guides/

I am using CCSv5.4 to build some code for an MSP430F5359. The code builds OK but I am getting the following error message when I try to create a TI.txt file:

'Finished building target: GSM1611.out'
' '
'Create flash image: TI-TXT'
"C:/ti/ccsv5/tools/compiler/msp430_4.1.9/bin/hex430" --ti_txt "GSM1611.out" -o "GSM1611.txt" -order MS -romwidth 16
'"C:/ti/ccsv5/tools/compiler/msp430_4.1.9/bin/hex430"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
gmake[1]: [post-build] Error 1 (ignored)
' '

**** Build Finished ****

I have selected the Create TI.txt option on the post build Properties screen.

I have used this option successfully before on this machine and CCSv5.4, with other code. 

I got the same error on another computer using CCSv7

I then also successfully rebuilt an old program and  got the TI.txt file I tryed this after I saw this problem with the new code.

I need the TI.txt file, because I have to write a custom bootloader for a field upgrade of some old equipment

Any suggestions?

    Does the C:/ti/ccsv5/tools/compiler/msp430_4.1.9/bin/hex430 file reported in the error message actually exist?

  • TI4.1.9 does exist, and you are correct, it is the problem.
    I was having an issue using the TI CC2650 Launchpad and got help from TI to use 4.1.9 to reprogram the Launchpad. Apparently that version doesn't support the hex option yet.
    I forgot to change the compiler back.
    Changing the compiler to 4.1.5 fixed the problem.
    Thank you
