CCS/TMS320F28379D: Can the "Pre-build steps" and "Post-build steps" use symbols for paths?

Part Number: TMS320F28379D

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

In CCS8, in the Project Properties-Build-Steps tab there is a "Pre-build steps" and a "Post-build steps" section.  From those steps, I want to call executables which are in a bin folder which is part of our project structure.  To execute these programs, I would like to be able to define a symbol which is the root of the project structure and simply add the path from that to the bin folder.  Is there a way to define path symbols for these steps in a manner which is similar to those which can be defined in the Resource-Linked Resources section of the Project Properties?

Thank you,

Ed

    Yes you can define build variables and use them in pre-build and post-build steps. Please refer to this page for more information on variables and how to define them. Let us know if this does not help answer your question.

  • That worked!  Thank you for your help.
