The Segger generated hex file contains the absolute path to the development environment. How can I remove this information from the file?

[James Bunger]

I generate the hex file for a release and then tried to rebuild it in a different folder.  This is to ensure that all the required files are checked into the archive system.  The two files did not match!  I compared and found the differences is the two different path names.  The SQA people are not happy!

Thank You.

Hi James,

What kind of absolute path names are you reading from the hex-file?

Are you building the application in Release or Debug mode?

Have you defined the DEBUG/DEBUG_NRF preprocessor symbols in your project? I suspect that the paths you are seeing is related to debug log prints of filename in case an error code puts the application in the error handler.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Hello Jørgen,

Thank you very much for getting back to me.

The path names were C:\Users\myname\Projects..

I was using release mode as this is for a production release.  HOWEVER, DEBUG_NRF was listed in the preprocessor definitions in the project options just as you suspected.  Removing it resolves my issue completely!

Not sure how I would have found that without your help.  Thanks again,

James
