hi, Is it possible to change output .hex filename at preprocessor time, something like:
#define _BOARD_REV_ 1 ... #if (_BOARD_REV_ == 1) HEX_FILENAME("board_1.hex") #else HEX_FILENAME("board_old.hex") #endif
There is just simply no way in any environment - make, BAT files, IDE, whatever - that you can ever control the generated HEX file name from the 'C' source code oops Erik However there also is no way in uVision to change filenames and such based on one variable which my batch files do seamlessly.

"However there also is no way in uVision to change filenames and such based on one variable" Depends if you count the 'Targets' facility? It's not brilliant (as I've also noted here before), but it might get this job done.
Hi all, I read all the discussions regarding this issue but still it doesn't help me. In my case I have a basic/main code and because this code needs to be programmed in two different targets, I add some "ifndef" commands, where when I compile the code for target X I define X and when I compile the code for target Y I define Y. Until now when I define X or Y I also go to target's options and change output file name to X or Y. I want to do it automatically when I define X or Y. I don't think two targets is the answer here. BAT files I don't know. Can you give me example please? Thanks a lot, Roberto
"I want to do it automatically when I define X or Y. I don't think two targets is the answer here." From what you say there, you are looking at it backwards: When you select Target X, that automatcially defines X for you, and uses the output name X. Isn't that exactly what you want?
