MPC55xx: Problem to generate .sym

[mudy]

Hello. I'm using Freescale Codewarrior for MPC55XX ver. 2 and my operating system is Windows XP.

After the command "Make" I would want also a file .sym. But this file isn't generated!

I read the CodeWarrior Help to create a symbolics file (.sym) and the step number 4 is:

4)For Macintosh PowerPC, select PPC Linker in the Target Settings Panels list (Linker group), then enable Generate SYM File.

...but:
1) I have EPPC Linker and not PPC linker,
2) In EPPC Linker there isn't the command (or option) "Generate SYM File".

What can I do?

Thanks

Hello

What is the purpose of the .sym file you are looking  for?

CodeWarrior for MPC55xx generates an ELF DWARF executable file.

This file is compliant to the ELF DWARF standard file format. Why do you need a .sym file?

And which format is that file expected to have?

Hello.

I would want a file .sym or .elf to debug the project.

But, after the command "MAKE", a file .elf isn't generated.

Which is the procedure to obtain the file .elf?

thanks

Hello

You can find the name of the generated executable file in the "EPPC Target" panel.

This file is generated in the output directory specified in the Output Directory specified in the "Target Settings" panel. 

The file specified there is an ELF DWARF executable file and is what you are looking for.

If you have created your project using a stationery, the elf file is called Simple.out and is located

in your project bin directory.

You can rename the file in the EPPC Target" panel if you wish.

I hope this helps.
