Do you need to call an external utility to create a HEX file in KDS?

Hi,

 

I've been playing with KDS and am having a hard time finding where to create an output HEX file like in CW. Is there an option or do I need to run an external utility on the .elf file to generate a HEX, S19, etc.

 

TIA!

For anyone who has come here recently, things have changed a bit in kds_v3.  To enable the generation of .srec files (e.g. as input to a ROM or flash-resident bootloader), navigate to:

Projects => Properties => C/C++ Build => Settings => Toolchains

... and check the [ ] Create Flash Image box.  (While there, you might want to enable the [ ] Print size box as well.)
