Hi, 

 
My question is this: 
Does the generated hexfile&amp;#39;s checksum change if I recompile/relink my
project when only adding comments to my sourcecode or when changing
the objects linking sequence in the .INP file?

...or when changing the objects linking sequence
&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Yes. Noticed this for C166.&lt;br /&gt;
You can always do a quick check, just run a md5 command on the hex
file.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Checksum generation question</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/49088?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2007 03:39:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:c5698c09-446d-47b6-b53f-8a93bcbd470b</guid><dc:creator>Andy Neil</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Yes, it probably does.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Especially if your code uses anything like __DATE__, __TIME__, or
__LINE__&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
