CCS/TMS320C6678: Include binary with CCS project

Part Number: TMS320C6678


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

Is there a way to include a binary file (in this case, an FPGA binary) as part of a CCS project? I don't want to add it as a .h file because the CCS compiler expects header files to be in a certain format. I want to include the FPGA binary in the exact same format as it's compiled.

Thanks,

Viney

    There is not a direct way to include this on a project. The thread below talks about an enhancement to our build tools that unfortunately was never implemented.

    Unfortunately to date there are only two methods of doing this, but only one is feasible to your particular case.
    - Directly including the .obj file into the project (impractical for your particular case)

    - Converting the binary to the header file format (the most practical way for your particular scenario)

    Hope this helps,
