Honored ContributorI want to automatically create a SREC file from the elf file after the build. I know the command to use is as follows:
nios2-elf-objcopy -O srec MyProg.elf MyProg.srec The thing that I do not know how to do is get the IDE (NIOS II V1.1.0 Build 137) to automatically do that after each build. Any help would be appreciated. thanx
Honored ContributorSee the thread: "touch file (http://www.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?act=st&f=17&t=1425)" for a discussion on how to add additional make targets to the IDE build process.
In your case you will need to use a rule of the form: MyProg.srec: MyProg.elf nios2-elf-objcopy -O srec $< $@Honored ContributorThanx, it gets me closer, but I still have a problem. I have a 3 projects in my Workspace. It gives me an error when I build because one of the projects builds before the the desired elf file is created. Therefore, I get errors in the build. Is there a way to only run my little make file for a particular project?
After a little more investigating, I came across 'External Tools Builder' in properties. I tried just writing a simple shell script that does the nios2-elf-objcopy, but I get an error stating that there was an error in the command line. Not much help from that message http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif The IDE seems to be a lot fuzzy about this. It seems simple what I want to do. I just cannot seem to find the needed info.... Thanks
