I don't think the problem is about path problem.

I've tried to put my file in the same folder as the exec and TI's
example. There is no space in my file's name.

Here's a print screen of what I'm trying :

C:\temp>dir
 Volume in drive C is Systeme
 Volume Serial Number is XXXX-XXXX

 Directory of C:\temp

2006-03-31  08:41       <DIR>          .

OK, it's done

I don't use these particular tools, or even the 24xx DSPs, but the
message does not seem to complain about the format or the content of
the file, but say that it can't even open the file.  It sounds like it
could be a path problem.  Perhaps you need to specify the proper path
to the file.  Or perhaps, if this is a command line tool, you need to
using paths without any spaces in any of the directory names.  Some
command line tools still have problems with spaces in Windows file and
directory names.

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a file to obtain a .hex file (myfile.out to
myfile.hex) using f240_hex.exe provided by TI.

Unfortunately, I always get this error message :

"ERROR: Unable to open myfile.out
       Conversion aborted"

myfile.out is obtained by compiling my project with Code Composer
Studio (version 2.20).

In Build options, Linker, Advanced, the COF output format selected is
COFF1 (as recommended in TI's documentation).

When I convert example provided with the tool, it works well.

Any idea ?
