How to invoke bin2hex

[marker5a]

I started playing w/ this as we would like to switch our builds to cmake eventually. Quick question, I see that there is "support" for calling bin2hex... what I'm unsure of is how to invoke it following a build? Is there a directive I need to add to the toplevel CMakeLists.txt file?

Edit: MicrochipBin2Hex.cmake is already included in Modules/Platform/MicrochipMCU.cmake so we don't need to include() the module.

# CMakeLists.txt
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME}.elf ...)

bin2hex(${PROJECT_NAME}.elf)

Was using a custom command before and this worked too:

add_custom_command(TARGET ${PROJECT_NAME}.elf POST_BUILD
    COMMAND ${MICROCHIP_XC32_PATH}/bin/xc32-bin2hex $<TARGET_FILE:${PROJECT_NAME}.elf>)

Hey,

I get the error target was not created in this directory. In which CMakeLists.txt should I add this command? Actually it is in my top level CMakeLists.txt.

Best

The target needs to be created before invoking bin2hex so bin2hex can be used in any directory as long as the target is created first. For example,

# CMakeLists.txt

# first
add_executable(${TARGET_NAME} ........)

# then
bin2hex(${TARGET_NAME})
