How to get .hex file in Segger for Release mode?

[klm19]

Hi there,

I am trying to obtain a .hex file for my project for Release Configuration. I don't see the .hex file get updated in the pca10040\s132\ses\Output\Release\Exe directory. It shows Date modified was Oct 2018 but for debug configuration located in pca10040\s132\ses\Output\Debug\Exe I see that the hex file has a Date Modified of today.

I have done the following: open the project settings, under Linker -> Linker, select hex in "Additional Output Format" settings. The hex file will then be generated in the Output\[tagert]\Exe directory.

When I build I also have the mode set to Release. Do I have to do any other steps aside from pressing Build to obtain a hex file for Release mode?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

As you using Segger Embedded Studio for building the files, please find the picture attached

you can change the configuration at the top left which create the output files into Debug/Release folder.

Thanks for the response. I did that already. If I go Build -> Build ble_app_uart_pca10040_s132 or press F7 the hex file never updates in that folder. Just found out that if I right click on Project and press Rebuild the hex file in the output Release folder does get updated. I will stick to this method when I need the latest hex.
