CCS/MSP430F5328: linking different program into current project(bootloader)

Part Number: MSP430F5328


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

We have created a custom bootloader for our product, this code has been tested and approved for production.

During development I have changed some of the parameters of the compiler, and the bootloader code is different.

So far no strange things.

I have restored the compiler settings on the folder where our bootloader is, and if I compare the code that has been programmed in the flash it is still different.

My question is how can I set up CCS8 so that my bootloader is always the same?

What I have come up with so far but no idea how to implement:

  1. link the static bootloader.obj into the project. How do you tell the linker where every needs to be placed?
  2. Add an additional project to the workspace containing the bootloader and combining the results to one output.
  3. Setup the folder in x,y,z way so that the code is always the same.

Additional information:

Project settings are 4 whole program optimize and 5 speed.

bootloader settings: 2, and 1 size.

Thank you for your response.
