How to open the.ELF file

[jixiangli]

Hello everyone，

            In the CODEWARRIOR programming environment, after the new project is compiled, the.ELF file will be generated. What software can be used to open the.ELF file? Please make a recommendation. Thank you very much！！！

Hi li,

elf file is a common standard file format for executable files, object code, shared libraries, and core dumps. it can not be parsed by normal editor like notepad.

NXP has decoder.exe that can parse elf file. You can find it under CW install folder

...\CW MCU v11.0\MCU\prog\decoder.exe

decoder.exe can parse a elf file, and output result to a lst file.

Have a great day,
Jennie Zhang
