Hex file from Code Composer

Started by Richard May 3, 2009
I cannot seem to get Code Composer to produce a hex file. What am I missing?

Thanks for the help.

The advantages of IDE and GUI!

Next comes Multimedia-User-Interface. Or, YouTube-Development-Environment?

For those of you are here for actual help, the setting can be found in:

Project/ Properties/ C/C++/ Build/ Build Steps/ Post-Build Step

Rich,

This is not easy to find.

1.) Right click on project name in project window.
2.) Left click on Properties.
3.) Left click Liker Output
4.) Left click Build Steps tab
5.) Left click pull down on apply Predefined steps
6.) Select TI-txt or Intel-Hex.
7. Make sure to click OK.
8. Make sure you selected the proper device when setting up the project,

Getting it all to work is another issue. I gave up on code composer and
purchased a third party package.

Will the GUI vs. command line argument ever stop? Both have advantages and disadvantages. Search "GUI vs. command line argument" and you will see a plethora of mertis of both. IMO, a good developer knows how to work with both as uses them when needed. Command line has a much steeper learning curve but is more flexable once you are at full stride. The converse goes for GUIs. When you have a project to finish, I'll scratch the die if I need to so my code is executing properly.

Hello,

There was a day when we didn't have GUI's, and before that no CRT's, and
before that just an ASR Teletype running at 15 baud, after 44 years, I have
been through them all. If the GUI works, and is fast, use it. Otherwise type
in your command. GUI's always have the advantage (if properly written) of
automatically setting the right syntax for you, whereas command line is
subject to typo's, syntax errors and misspellings.
