How to generate .bin file using MDK (KEIL5)

Recently, the master asked us to use keil5 to generate a .bin file. However, we searched a lot of information on the Internet and designed it according to the methods on the Internet, but the results were not satisfactory and nothing came out. This morning, after a lot of hard work, I finally generated a .bin file. Although it is a bit long-winded and looks complicated, if you follow the steps step by step, you will find that it is still very simple. I will share it below and hope it can help you. Due to my lack of language and ability, if there are any mistakes, I would like to ask the big guys to correct me.

There are two ways to produce .bin files. One is to open fromelf.exe in the installation path, and the other is as shown in the figure below. I will introduce all my methods below.

Click the User column, check Run#1, and fill in the path to generate .bin in the box behind. My path is:

fromelf(a space) --bin(a space) --output(a space) .gpioshurigpioshuri.bin(a space) .gpioshurigpioshuri.axf  

The fromelf (a space) --bin (a space) --output (a space) . are fixed formats and do not need to be modified. At the same time, it should be noted that there are four spaces in the path. The first gpioshuri is the name of the folder, which can be selected according to personal projects. The second is the file name of the .bin file. The first gpioshuri is the folder where the .axf file is located. .axf has been generated and can be found in the MDK folder.

The above is theory, now let’s put it into practice.

At the beginning, there is no .bin file in the gpioshuri folder. In Keil, click the select button in the upper left corner to open the .axf file.

Set the .bin path

Compile

Open the folder where it is located. Mine is in the gpioshuri folder.

By comparison, we can see that the .bin file we need has been generated.
