Is there a way in Uvision3 to obtain a .bin file instead of the .hex file, as the executable file format?
You could use the supplied hex2bin utility, and automatically execute it using the "Run User Program" option in the Output tab of uVision.
Hi I have placed that file in the output tap. It does not compile the file because not enough arguments errors. How can i do what you said? Thank You!
The line I use looks like: c:\bin\hex2bin Obj\AppName.hex The directory, if any, should match the one you select with the "Select Folder for Objects..." button. You should also check the "Create HEX File", so that the linker will create a hex file in the objects folder. Then, you just pass the name of the hex file to hex2bin.
"It does not compile the file because not enough arguments errors." Again, note that HEX2BIN has nothing to do with compiling - it runs after the compiler (and assembler, and linker) have all done their jobs! Then you need to supply all the necessary arguments - that's an input file name & an output file name at the minimum. See the HEX2BIN documentation for a description of the required arguments & options; See the uVision Manual for details of how to supply arguments to utilities like this - In particular look at the section on Key Sequences for Tool PArameters. Application Note 159 illustrates the use of Key sequences (it's for a Triscend E5, but the principles remain the same): http://www.keil.com/appnotes/files/apnt_159.pdf
"The directory, if any, should match the one you select with the "Select Folder for Objects..." button." Using the Key Sequences makes that automatic. See the uVision Manual.
