Compiler/CODECOMPOSER: What is the .x0 format?

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER


Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

I have to add a post-build part numbers writting in the .x0. How is the format? I used to work on .s19 files, where the format is the image below.

How is the format of the x.0 binary files?

Thanks in advance!

    A file with the extension .x0 is created when you use the hex conversion utility with the option --tektronix.  You don't say which TI processor you use.  If you build for an ARM processor, and use the TI ARM compiler toolchain, then the hex conversion utility is named armhex.  Other toolchains have similar names for the hex conversion utility.  Please read more about it in the Assembly Language Tools User's Guide for your processor.  All of them are available on the page Code Generation Tools for TI processors and microcontrollers.  

    Thanks and regards,

    Hi George,

     The SW built is for the UCD3138A64Q, the compiler used is the v5.2.5 TI ARM. Is there any format? Or the format .x0 is a binary like extension .bin ?

    Thanks!!!

    You can configure your CCS project to run the hex conversion utility.  When you do so, choose the output format tektronix.  See the screen shot below.  It is from CCSv8, but it is similar in other versions of CCS.  I'm sure there are other details of using the hex utility that need attention.  Learn about those by searching the ARM assembly language tools manual for the chapter titled Hex Conversion Utility Description.

    Thanks and regards,
