hi,
I just tried to use makefile templet of WINAVR 20070122 to generate .bin file of the code, but after I changed:
# Output format. (can be srec, ihex, binary) FORMAT = ihex
to
# Output format. (can be srec, ihex, binary) FORMAT = binary
,
it still generate the old hex file. I think the code for generate bin file was wrong in this templet.
Regards,
Cheng

clawson If you want .bin with the correct file extension I think the easiest way may be to locate:
# Create final output files (.hex, .eep) from ELF output file. %.hex: %.elf @echo @echo $(MSG_FLASH) $@ $(OBJCOPY) -O $(FORMAT) -R .eeprom $< $@
and add after it:
# Create final output file (.bin) from ELF output file. %.bin: %.elf @echo @echo $(MSG_FLASH) $@ $(OBJCOPY) -O binary -R .eeprom $< $@
then locate:
build: elf hex eep lss sym
and change it to be:
build: elf hex bin eep lss sym
and add a line between:
hex: $(TARGET).hex eep: $(TARGET).eep
so that it then reads:
hex: $(TARGET).hex bin: $(TARGET).bin eep: $(TARGET).eep
Now, when you "make" you get a file.bin as well as file.hex output.
(oh and you might want to add it under clean: too!)

darthvader thanks, Cliff, I had the added code to generate the bin together with hex before. I just wondered about the this binary output format in the makefile.
clawson Well that's becasue the original rule remained:
# Create final output files (.hex, .eep) from ELF output file. %.hex: %.elf @echo @echo $(MSG_FLASH) $@ $(OBJCOPY) -O $(FORMAT) -R .eeprom $< $@
and all that changed in this was the $(FORMAT) that switched from "ihex" to "binary" but the rule still was taking the .elf as input and outputting to a .hex of the same name. (though it no longer contained hex)

Hmm. Yeah, that's not necessarily the best design, was it. :(
darthvader no, that's a little bit confusing.
EW Patches welcome. :)
