#25 Option for output format

[Anonymous]

avr-objcopy can produce files in the format hex, binary and srec. It would be nice if one could set the format in the new project wizard.

Is it better to add an option to the "AVR Create Flash image"-tool or to add seperate tools for the different formats? This would allow to produce serveral files at once.

Hi,

early on in the development I decided to only use iHex to reduce the complexity of the plugin and to reduce possible misconfigurations by newbie AVR programmers (like myself).

However, if you need raw binary and/or srec formats it should be no problem for me to add these as options to the "AVR Create Flash image" and "AVR Create EEPROM image" tools.

I would hesitate to add them as separate tools as the "Tool settings" dialog is IMHO crowded enough.

What do you need the other formats for? I am asking this so can look for a solution that is best suited for your (and everyone elses) workflow.

brgds,

Thomas
