CCS/TMS570LS3137: How to create a binary(.bin) file for UART Bootloader of TMS570LS3137

Compiler/TMS570LS3137: Create bin file from hex or elf file

Part Number: TMS570LS3137


Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

After reading the documentation I am not sure how the bin file is generated with ARM CGT compiler.

Is the source file the *.elf or the *.hex file? It seems to work with both, or at lestI get for both version similar bin file:

  • C:\ti\ccs910\ccs\utils\tiobj2bin\tiobj2bin.bat out.elf out.bin C:\ti\ccs910\ccs\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-arm_18.12.2.LTS\bin\armofd.exe C:\ti\ccs910\ccs\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-arm_18.12.2.LTS\bin\armhex.exe C:\ti\ccs910\ccs\utils\tiobj2bin\mkhex4bin.exe
  • C:\ti\ccs910\ccs\utils\tiobj2bin\tiobj2bin.bat out.hex out.bin C:\ti\ccs910\ccs\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-arm_18.12.2.LTS\bin\armofd.exe C:\ti\ccs910\ccs\tools\compiler\ti-cgt-arm_18.12.2.LTS\bin\armhex.exe C:\ti\ccs910\ccs\utils\tiobj2bin\mkhex4bin.exe

Are both versions okay to use and correct?

Best regards,

Stefan

    Please look at the linker invocation.  Find the file named with the option --output_file (or short equivalent -o).  This is the final executable object file created by the linker.  This same file is what tiobj2bin.bat expects as the first parameter.

    A confusing detail in this case ...  The most common extension for this file .out.  Yet, in your examples, you use out as the base file name.

    Thanks and regards,

    Thanks!

    Regarding the confusing detail: In our build tool, we name the binary {application-name}.elf instead of {application-name}.out.
