If the build fails, the hex files are not be created and TCM displays an error message. Two of the most common
reasons for a build failure are:
• Files defined in the script can not be found. This error can occur when the files referenced by the script are
no longer stored on the development computer or the folders where they are stored were renamed.
• The total amount of flash memory space required by the script exceeds the image size. To correct this,
reduce the number of files in the partition or increase the size of the partition. See
on page 7-8
