lation sequence. These files can be merged into the .hex file generated from the other input files in
the project by an application called HEXMATE. See Section
using the --NODEL driver option. Without this option, this temporary file is used to generate an
output file (e.g. a HEX file ) and files used for debugging by development tools (e.g. COFF files)
before it is deleted. The file l.obj can be used as the input to OBJTOHEX if running this application
manually, but it cannot be passed to the driver as an input file as it absolute and cannot be further
processed.
2.2.1 Single-step Compilation
The command-line driver, PICC32 , can compile any mix of input files in a single step. All source
files will be re-compiled regardless of whether they have been changes since that last time a compi-
lation was performed.
ate files (.p1 and .obj) remain after compilation has completed, but all other transitional files are
deleted, unless you use the --NODEL option which preserves all generated files. Note some generated
files may be in a temporary directory not associated with your project and use a pseudo-randomly
The link and post-link steps are graphically illustrated in Figure 2.2.
This diagram shows .hex files as additional input file type not considered in the initial compi-
The output of the linker is a single absolute object file, called l.obj, that can be preserved by
Unless otherwise specified, a default output file and debug file are produced. All intermedi-
