flashing lps-node-firmware not creating .bin and .hex file

Post by Narasing »

Hi,

I'm new to Eclipse IDE environment,I'm using BitCraze VM and updated all projects with the icon.

bitcraze@bitcraze-vm:~/projects/lps-node-firmware$ make

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
arm-none-eabi-size bin/lps-node-firmware.elf
text data bss dec hex filename
80176 712 11836 92724 16a34 bin/lps-node-firmware.elf
BOOTLOADER Support: 0
arm-none-eabi-objcopy bin/lps-node-firmware.elf -O binary bin/lps-node-firmware.bin
python2 tools/make/dfu-convert.py -b 0x8000000:bin/lps-node-firmware.bin bin/lps-node-firmware.dfu
rm bin/lps-node-firmware.bin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but in bin file lps-node-firmware.dfu and lps-node-firmware.elf are created.
not lps-node-firmware.bin and lps-node-firmware.hex

Thanks.

Hi,

The hex file is never created and the .bin file is used as source for the DFU file but is then cleaned up.

You can create the bin file with: "arm-none-eabi-objcopy bin/lps-node-firmware.elf -O binary bin/lps-node-firmware.bin"

And the hex file with: "arm-none-eabi-objcopy bin/lps-node-firmware.elf -O ihex bin/lps-node-firmware.hex"

Why do you need these files? Feel free to add new targets to the make file an do a pull request if this is useful to you.
