Sorry I was not clear. I'm referring to the format rather than the
filename.
I am able to program *.out and *.elf with mspdebug
What is the difference?
I believe that *.elf can be stripped (symbols) for production runs.
Anything else I'm missing?
Thanks.

You seem to be confusing the default file name with the file format. The
file is in elf format and you can name it anything you like.
