    This is referring to the executable (.out file) that is programmed to the target device. It is typically generated either by building a Code Composer Studio project or makefile, and is the executable that the GUI is intended to communicate with. 

    Hope this helps!

    IWR1642 is looking for an executable .out file.
    Do you have any examples of demonstrations to compile from Code Composer Studio?

    The .out file is typically specified when using the XDS JTAG model of communication between target and GUI Composer. For the IWR1642BOOST I believe a different model of communication is used. The experts in the device forum will be able to help best in answering this.

    I see that you already have another thread about this which has been assigned to the correct team: https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors/f/791/t/773031 
    I would suggest continuing the discussion in that thread.
