MPC5748G S32DS for Power : bin file question

Hello.

I have been working in hello_world_mpc5748g example project.

I found bin file is not the same as flash memory.

This : Part of bin file -> I guess this part is startup code.

7C008146780015390000000000000000

But, Dump of real flash :

You can copy them and compare using utility program.

All the contents are same but, last part is only different

0000000000000000 -> FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I need to use this bin file in firmware update project.

I think something that makes bin file is wrong (has some bug).

I want to change the 000000 in bin file to fffffff.

Thanks

Best Regards

Phillip

Hi Phillip,

This is caused because 0x00 is the default gap fill pattern for objcopy utility.

You can easily change this to 0xff using switch "--gap-fill 255" (see screenshot below)

hope it helps.
