Strategies and Tactics
Before we begin exploring MSP430 micros, I would like to discuss certain things though they may look
like advanced stuffs for the moment.
Generating HEX Output Files
By default, CCS doesn’t generate any hex formatted output file. Everyone working in the embedded
system sector is familiar with it. Hex outputs are useful for Proteus VSM simulations and loading code
to a new MSP430 micro using an external programmer like UniFlash. Thus, it is essential if not
imperative to unlock hex utility.
