MSP430 Workshop - Programming C with CCS 2 - 51
Programming Blinky with MSP430Flasher
We can use this same utility to burn other programs to our target. Before we can do that, though,
we need to create the binary file of our program. The UE app already did this as part of their build
process, but we need to make a quick modification to our project to have it build the correct
binary format for the flasher tool.
8. Open your lab_02b_blink project.
9. Open the project properties for you project.
With the project selected, hit Alt-Enter.
10. Change the required build setting, as shown below.
This is documented at:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Generating_and_Loading_MSP430_Binary_Files
11. Rebuild the project.
If you don’t rebuild the project, the .txt binary might not be generated if CCS thinks the
program is already built.
Clean the project
Build the project
12. Verify that lab_02b_blink.txt was created in the /Debug directory.
13. Open blink.bat with a text editor and verify all the paths are correct.
