How generate .bin and .hex files?
- GOTO Properties →Build →Steps → then add the following
- For Bin File “${CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/tiobj2bin.bat” “${BuildArtifactFileName}” “${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin” “${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armofd.exe” “${CG_TOOL_ROOT}/bin/armhex.exe” “${CCS_INSTALL_ROOT}/utils/tiobj2bin/mkhex4bin.exe”
- For Hex file “${CG_TOOL_HEX}” -order MS –memwidth=8 –romwidth=8 –intel -o “${ProjName}.hex” “${ProjName}.out”

What is _c_int00 file?
- _c_int00 is the name of the symbol of the C environment entry point .
- Sometimes it is necessary to obtain this address (e.g., to reset the software) or even to set c_int00 address to a fixed location (so that the host that is booting the processor can make it jump to that location).

Memory
- The tool will allocate flash space based on the address defined in cmd file, and load the code to that address
Trouble shoots
Issue-1 : CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC2640R2: Project already exists in the workspace
- This means Rename the already exists project and try again
Issue-2 : Target must be connected before loading program.
- I was used the this tool and Version:8.2.0.00007 with XDS100v2 USB Debug Proble. I got this error “Texas Instruments XDS100v2 USB Debug Probe_0/CortexR5 : Target must be connect before loading program”.
- It was solved throw set one parameter in debug configuration. “In the CCS Debug perspective: “Tools -> Debugger Options -> Generic Debugger” and slect “Connect to Target on Debugger Setup”.”
- Refer : Target must be connected before loading with TM4C123GH6PM
