Hi Jake,

after monthes of hard work I finally found some time to upgrade to Q_9.1_SP2.

I found out that the "BUILD_PRE_PROCESS" and "BUILD_POST_PROCESS" can easily be set for the BSP through the variable hal.make.build_pre_process and hal.make.build_post_process. However I can't find how to do the same for the main application.

Even though the variables "BUILD_PRE_PROCESS" and "BUILD_POST_PROCESS" are present in the makefile, I can't find the place in the gui where I should set their value.

Manually setting the value of eg. BUILD_POST_PROCESS in the makefile triggers the action at the end of the build, resulting in the needed convertion of the .elf file. Thus, I'm just missing one small step to the goal.

Hopefully you have a hint for me...

Regards,
