  • Hi Andrew,
    Thank you for your inquiry.

    If we understand you correctly, you would like to call an application that creates a c file from a hex file, before building the project.
    Is that correct?

    If so you could create a staging or combining project for this purpose:
    "Staging: a project that will apply a user-defined command to each file in a project.
    Combining: a project that can be used to apply a user-defined command when any files in a project have changed." - Embedded Studio Reference Manual

    Does this answer your question?

    Best regards,
    Fabian

  • Possibly,

    The easiest way I can think off is an execution hook when build is clicked, which runs the executable which generates the byte array c file, which in turn is picked up normally.

    I just found Code -> User Build Step -> Pre-Build Command which looks like it'll do the job, shall give it a go now.
