RTOS/LAUNCHXL-CC1310: .bin file and .out file

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC1310
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC1310

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

 i use IAR ide compile a cc1310 project, after  build and make, i can see  two file in the debug folder, which are projectname.bin  and projectname.out ,what 's the dfference between this two file. it seems both works if i download them into the cc1310 chip.

and i got another question, i download the projectname.bin file into the cc1310, it doesnot work, but if i click the download and debug button in IAR IDE and run ,it works, how that happens?

    The .out file is an ELF file and may contain much more than just the binary code, for instance debugging information and symbols. The .bin file is a stripped version of the .out file and contains only the data to be loaded into the MCU flash.

    In your previous sentence you said that the .bin file is working. I don't know what happens exactly when you click the Download and Debug button, but I assume that IAR would take the .out file and not the .bin file for debugging.

  • Tichard ,
    thanks for you reply.
    usually , i use TI flash programer to download the .bin file.
    this other problem is solved, because i forgot to put a infinite loop in the task ,what a mistake.
