Hello all,

i have a question if it is possible use the eclipse template or others for update a constant value define as:

static const unsigned short firmware_version =  0001;

for update automaticaly(for example) every time i debug it increasing it of +1. This for track the firmware version

Thanks

Hi Daniele,

You could also run a post-build command where you rename the generated binary file with a version number. Take a look to the following post created by a colleague that explains how to execute multiple post-build commands:

Hope it helps!

I explain how to do that with Make (the underlying build system) here:
