Why .ELF and not .AXF

Hello,
I am making a project with the lm3s811.

When I build my project uVision says that it has made a .ELF file for me.
But when i search this file it is nowhere to be found!
So i cannot load my flash.

But when I build a test project uVision makes a .AXF file. (which I can find!).

How is this possible what am I doing wrong?

And why is there a differnce in the file format??

Thanx for any help!

  • I did a quick check in uVision using an example project (CSample). It nicely shows a "build" tab at the bottom of the screen with the output location. The directory contains two folders, listing and objects.

    Do you get any log-files? If not, try enabling them in the project settings. The linker logging should give you all the info you need.

    Also, on the output tab of the project settings, I can enter the output file name. It's "csample" by default in this example but I can change it into anything I like (csample.axf, csample.elf, csample.plop; it's just a name and doesn't says anything about the internal format).
