CCS/CCSTUDIO: Extracting Code From Target Device

Brian Dempsey
Expert 6615 points

Part Number: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi team,

I recently found that my design firmware somehow was lost and the code reverted back to before any modifications were made. I do however have a few boards that have the most recent firmware deployed to them. Is there any way of extracting this code from the device?

Thanks,

Brian

    Brian,

    The code loaded to the target is in pure binary form - i.e., no source code information is provided at all. To make things worse, any information about memory allocation is also not loaded to the target - you will have to know which addresses contain code, data and its respective sizes to dump the memory using the Memory Browser.

    You can use the buttons shown in the reference below to save the memory to your PC.

    You will only be able to follow the assembly code and raw data of your project. Sorry.

    Regards,
