Hope this helps to answer an ancient question, @ryancte. For me the .rbf was not where I expected it, in the output_files directory where the .sof input file was, but in the parent directory, where the .qpf project file resides.

Big thanks @Ketan for the answer. That dialog box was a bit intimidating at first but here are the settings I used:

Programming file type: Raw Binary File (.rbf)

Input files to convert:

  • click on SOF Data

  • click Add File button

  • navigate to the .sof file in the output_files directory

Then click the Generate button.
