QUESTION

How can I convert my ARM program to binary format during the build process?

ANSWER

The RealView ARM toolchain includes a utility called FROMELF.EXE. You can use this program to extract a binary file from the ELF absolute object file for your project. Configure your µVision project to generate the binary automatically as follows:

1. Go to Options — Output
2. Check "Run User Program #1", under "After Make"
3. Enter the following in the User Program 1 path (where "myprog" is the project's "Name of Executable")

C:\Keil\ARM\BIN40\fromelf.exe --bin --output myprog.bin myprog.axf

MORE INFORMATION

• Refer to Using fromelf in the RealView Linker and Utilities Guide.
