CCS/TM4C123GH6PM: CCS generator a binary file fail after windows 10 update.

Aska,

Our expert on those utilities will be in on Monday and can take a look.

One thing to check would be to see if this will run outside of CCS by opening a command prompt and going to your project folder

Then running:

C:/ti/ccs1011/ccs/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin "ABC.out" "ABC.bin" "C:/ti/ccs1011/ccs/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-arm_20.2.1.LTS/bin/armofd" "C:/ti/ccs1011/ccs/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-arm_20.2.1.LTS/bin/armhex" "C:/ti/ccs1011/ccs/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin"

Regards,

John

My Windows 10 PC pro updated to the later build 20H2 but I can't repeat the failure using the same post build command:

"C:/ti/ccs1011/ccs/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin" "tm4c_pwm_test.out" "tm4c_pwm_test.bin" "C:/ti/ccs1011/ccs/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-arm_20.2.1.LTS/bin/armofd" "C:/ti/ccs1011/ccs/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-arm_20.2.1.LTS/bin/armhex" "C:/ti/ccs1011/ccs/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin"
 

**** Build Finished ****

While there are some other forum threads which mention an error at "XML/Parser.pm line 187", it wasn't clear what the cause was.

So I can reproduce this behavior ...

... please put the file ABC.out in a zip file, then attach that zip file to your next post.

Thanks and regards,

Hi George,

thanks for your reply, the attached file is the ABC.out.

Hi John,

thanks for your information,

I try to execute the command in windows command line ：

1.cmd.exe

2.goto project folder

3.execute command:

I got the same message.

Thank you for ...

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce the same behavior.  This means the the file ABC.out is not the problem.

Instead of using tiobj2bin.bat use armobjcopy instead.  It is a recent addition to the TI ARM compiler installation.  Change the tiobj2bin.bat command to ...

C:/ti/ccs1011/ccs/tools/compiler/ti-cgt-arm_20.2.1.LTS/bin/armobjcopy -I elf32-little -O binary ABC.out ABC.bin

Please let me know if this resolves the problem.

Thanks and regards,

Hi George,

Thanks for your reply.

I Modify the Post-build command

Post-buld steps command setting as below:
