Hi,

I don't understand the difference and tradeoffs between those two utilities:

${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armobjcopy.exe

${CCE_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin.bat

After testing, they both can convert an elf file to a binary file.

Is there a difference between those two commands?

${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armobjcopy.exe "${BuildArtifactFilePath}" --output-target binary "${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin"

and

${CCE_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin.bat "${BuildArtifactFileName}" "${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/ofd470.exe" "${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/hex470.exe" "${CCE_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin.exe"

Thanks.

With regard to the task of creating a binary file from an executable ELF file, there is no difference. If you consider other capabilities, or how they are implemented, there are all sorts of differences. In this case, those differences do not matter.

armobjcopy is a more robust and preferred solution.

Thanks and regards,
