CCS: Code Composer Studio Post build steps

Hello,

In the Build-Steps->Post-build steps, I have some copy commands that get the generated hex file and copy it to a new directory.

I would like to know how I can have an If statement condition in the post builds steps so to avoid to copy the file if the value of a variable is false.

Thanks for your help

Hello Giorgo,

The commands defined in the post build step are simply passed to the system console. If you are on Windows, since if conditionals are supported from the Windows command prompt, you can also use it in your a post build step. Note that you will need to have everything in one command.

Thanks

HI,

Thanks for your reply, it is very useful.

In the project software I have an header file with some defines, eg:

#define X 10

#define Y 20

How could I use X and Y in the Post build steps?

My goal is to have an IF X == 10 statement to decide to copy or not the files.

Thanks

Giorgio

The "if" statements supported as a post build step was referring to system "if" statements, such as ones as part of the post build step or in a system batch script file.

Thanks for your message.

I have learned how to use the if and I can use it but I don't know yet on how to use the defined variable in my source code.

How can I make the source code variables visible in the post build steps?

From the system console, you would need a way to parse your header file (whether via script or some other technique) to read the value of the variable
