Obj files are object files that contain compiled code and data. They are generated by the compiler as an intermediary step in the compilation process and are used to generate the final executable file. If you are using Code Composer Studio 6 (CCS 6) for your coding and debugging, you may need to use obj files in the command line for various purposes. Here's how to do it:
1. To use obj files in CCS 6 command line, you need to have CCS 6 installed on your computer. If you don't have it yet, you can download it from the official website and follow the installation instructions.
2. Once you have CCS 6 installed, open the command line interface on your computer. You can do this by searching for 'cmd' in the Windows start menu or using a terminal on a Mac or Linux system.
3. Navigate to the directory where your obj files are located using the 'cd' command. For example, if your obj files are in a folder named 'obj_files' on your desktop, you can use the command 'cd Desktop/obj_files' to navigate to that directory.
4. Now that you are in the directory containing your obj files, you can use the obj files in the CCS 6 command line for various purposes such as linking them with other object files to create the final executable file, inspecting their contents, or performing other debugging and analysis tasks.
5. To link obj files with other object files, you can use the CCS 6 command line tools such as 'lnk430' for MSP430 devices or 'cl430' for C/C++ compilation. These tools allow you to specify the obj files you want to link and generate the final executable file for your target device.
6. If you want to inspect the contents of an obj file, you can use the 'objdump' command in the CCS 6 command line. This command allows you to view the assembly code, symbols, and other information contained in the obj file for debugging and analysis purposes.
By following these steps, you can effectively use obj files in the CCS 6 command line for your coding and debugging tasks. This can help you streamline your development process and efficiently create high-quality embedded applications for your target devices.
