How to pass argument -O ihex toSTM32CubeIDE trough bash

Question

Dear @Khouloud ZEMMELI , @Imen.D ,I am building IOC file with help of a make release file which I execute under bash.The (default) STM32CubeIDE project has Debug as the Active configuration and also has the "-O ihex" enabled under the MCU Post build outputs settings.I want to also pass the "Convert to Intel HEx file (-O ihex)" setting as input to STM32CubeIDE when I execute below under bash C:/ST/STM32CubeIDE_1.14.1/STM32CubeIDE/stm32cubeidec.exe -nosplash -application org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild -cleanBuild ${BLD_TYPE} -importAll ./ -data ${TMPDIR} > BuildResult.Log  Please suggest how this shall be achieved.I assume the number / id / optionid 1613718931 will differ for different projects, 							<option id="com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.gnu.managedbuild.option.converthex.1613718931" name="Convert to Intel Hex file (-O ihex)" superClass="com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.gnu.managedbuild.option.converthex" useByScannerDiscovery="false" value="true" valueType="boolean"/> I am unaware what to use with -T option Invalid Arguments: [-cleanBuild, all, -importAll, ./, -T, 1613718931=true]
Error: Index 6 out of bounds for length 6 Please suggest a solution that if possible is independent of the optionid numberMore info added:If above is not possible how do I execute below, without having to bother about the location of arm-none-eabi-objcopy executable	arm-none-eabi-objcopy -O ihex $(EXECUTABLES) "Project_HEX_File.hex" Thanks!Rajeev

Hi @Pavel A.

I've created a bash script that helps me find paths and execute required executables from bash itself.

#!/bin/bash
source "$(dirname $0)/test.config"

declare -i Index=1
for s in $(MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 reg.exe query HKLM\\software\\STMicroelectronics\\STM32CubeIDE /s /v Path /reg:32)
do
	((Index++))
	if [ ${Index} -ne 6 ]; then
		continue
	else
		STM232CUBE_IDE_PATH=${s}
	fi
done

if [ -n "${STM232CUBE_IDE_PATH}" ]; then
	_CIDE_INST_PATH=$(cygpath -u ${STM232CUBE_IDE_PATH})/STM32CubeIDE
	if [ -f "${_CIDE_INST_PATH}/stm32cubeide.exe" ]; then
		echo EXE exists
		RS=$(grep ^"\-Declipse.buildId=Version " ${_CIDE_INST_PATH}/stm32cubeide.ini)
		echo STM32CubeIDE ${RS#\-Declipse.buildId=}
		PATH_ELF_TO_HEX=$(find "${_CIDE_INST_PATH}/plugins" -type d -iname "com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32*")/tools/bin
		${PATH_ELF_TO_HEX}/arm-none-eabi-objcopy --help
	fi
fi

@RajeevAroraCrcEvans The option "Convert to Intel Hex file" is already set in your CubeIDE projects, so when your projects build, the hex files should be created.

If you want to run objcopy separately, you'll have to figure out location of the cross tools from the location of CubeIDE.exe. This is tedious but not rocket science.

The options for Eclipse CDT headless build are documented here.
