Hi,

Customer used to get .out file with COFF format in this page:

and then get .txt from this .out file with COFF format.

but in the newer version of CCS, this page cannot be found. so how to convert .out to .txt for  CCS with newer version?

thank you!

Best regards,

    Even though the term COFF is used, this is not an object file format, but a format for debug information.  The C2000 compiler stopped supporting COFF debug format several years ago.  That's why this part of the build dialog no longer appears.

    You don't say how your customer gets a .txt file from the .out file.  But whatever it is, it does not depend on the debug format, but on the object file format.  The C2000 compiler continues to support COFF object file format.  So, the method used to create the .txt file will continue to work.

    Recent releases of the C2000 compiler introduce a new ABI named EABI.  When EABI is used, the object file format is not COFF but ELF.  While the transition will take years, support for COFF object file format will eventually end.  Please start thinking about how to make this transition.  If you create this .txt file by using the hex utility hex2000 that comes with the compiler, then there is nothing more to do.  That utility already supports both COFF and ELF.

    For some general background on object file formats and debug information formats, please see the article A Brief History of TI Object File Formats.

    Thanks and regards,

    thanks

    example using COFF

    it seem that i can't post pictures, the tool is as below

    IconLoader.dll
    Interface.dll
    OutputData.xml
    TI Master.dll

    the result is as below

    The usual problem with posting pictures is described in the FAQ Why are the links to my images broken?

    I am not familiar with any of these ...

    00007773 02 ScicRegs.SCILBAUD

    ... is similar to the output of the names utility nm2000.  This utility is part of the C28x compiler installation.  Please search for it in the C28x assembly tools manual.

    Thanks and regards,
