How to Generate Binary-Format Files (TI-TXT and INTEL-HEX) The CCS installation includes the hex430.exe conversion tool.

It can be configured to generate output objects in TI-TXT format for use with the MSP-GANG430 and MSP-PRGS430 programmers, as well as INTEL-HEX format files for TI factory device programming. The tool can be used either standalone in a command line (located in ccsv5 ccs_base tools compiler msp430 bin) or directly within CCS.

In the latter case, a post-build step can be configured to generate the file automatically after every build by selecting predefined formats such as TI-TXT and INTEL-HEX in the 'Apply Predefined Step' pull-down menu (Project → Properties → Build → Build Steps Tab → Post-Build Step → Apply Predefined Step). The generated file is stored in the Debug directory. Volo View Express 2.01 Free.
