LPCXpresso creates .axf files by default, but it includes a program called arm-none-eabi-objcopy which can generate a .hex file.

From the command line:
CD to the LPCXpresso directory- usually C:\NXP\LPCXpresso3.2
Now run objcopy by typing:
Tools\bin\arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O Format input-file output-file

Format is one of binary, srec, ihex, tekhex, symbolsrec. ihex generates an Intel hex format.

input-file is the .axf file and output-file is the name of the output file

A call to objcopy can be added as a post-build step to auto-generate the hex file.

arm-none-eabi-objcopy –O ihex ${BuildArtifactFileName} ${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.hex

Dear sir,
I found that command description in the project settings as you said.
But in fact, I don't know where HEX file was create.
There is no HEX file in the workspace - even in Debug folder also,
Would you please let me know where ?

Sorry, I got it.
Default setting is usualy defined with '#' for existing project examples.
HEX will be created if '#' is deleted from project settings description.

Thank you for your helpful suggestion.
