how to convert out file to bin file（DSP/BIOS）

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Hello, everyone.

I 'd like to know How to convert .out file generated by DSP/BIOS on OMAP-L138 platform to .bin file.

After Build, size of .out (COFF) is 163KB. Using Hex6x, I got 59KB Intel Hex file.
Hex6x command was " hex6x -i -linkerfill -romwidth=8 -memwidth=8 test.out " ,its output hex file is test.io.

Hex2bin command was " hex2bin -k 0 test.io "
output Hex file is 32-bit format like this..

:02000004C1FF3A
:20FFE000660290002A0808016E4C79256213044062030C5058A3005200600000000080E0EF
:02000004C20038
:20000000283C430068006100640200600060000064368060583D8861A0058C61D00F806100
:2000200000000000806C84612A3E43006A006100E60200600040000040088C61FA190C613C

And then, I Used Hex2Bin.exe. I got 4MB binary file. Half of Data is gone.
I guess Hex2bin.exe convert make errors.

Also, can anyone point me to information related to:

1)How to convert *.out file generated by dsp/bios 5.41 to *.bin file directly

2)Why my *.bin file so big

Any links to source code or command examples would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

You could check out tiobj2bin to convert .out file to binary. This is included in the cg_xml package as mentioned in this post: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/compiler/f/343/p/80866/283137.aspx#283137

It is also included with CCS4 in the folder \ccsv4\utils\tiobj2bin. So if you are building your project using CCS, you could add the tiobj2bin command as a post-build step so it is run on the .out file every time the project is built.

Hi Aarti,

thanks for your reply firstly. Can tiobj2bin compatible with CCS3.3? I am using CCS3.3 now.

Best regards.

Since it is just a command line converter, it can be used as a post-build step in CCS 3.3 or even outside CCS altogether. The only thing is tiobj2bin is not packaged with CCS 3.3 so you would need to download cg_xml package and set up all your paths to be able to invoke the utility.

Hi Aarti,

Tiobj2bin is in the utils in setup files in CCS4. But how to use tiobj2bin.bat? And what about mkhex4bin.exe?

Best regards.

To understand better how these utilities work, please download the cg_xml package. It includes documentation on the mxhex4bin script as well as how it works with tiobj2bin.bat file. After installation take a look at index.htm in the root folder.

I just started using CCSv5.1 and mxhex4bin is not included in the install. Can it be added in future releases?

It is included in 5.1, however the location of the file has moved. It is now under \ccsv5\ccs_base\utils\tiobj2bin while in v4, it was under \ccsv4\utils\tiobj2bin. This happened because of the change in directory structure when we moved to a more standard Eclipse environment in CCSv5, where the TI content was grouped under \ccs_base.

As a result, you would need to change the path accordingly if you're using this in your post-build step.

It is part of the post build instructions for uart_echo in CCS Version: 6.1.1.00022 . Sure enough, I found the .bin file in my uart_echo workspace. Thanks, TI people. Isn't progress great?
