Saving The Script; Building The Image - Motorola MC17 Product Reference Manual

Script window. The File Explorer window supports standard windows; multiple files may be selected by
clicking while holding the SHIFT or CTRL keys.

Saving the Script

Modifications to a script file can be saved using the Save or the Save As function. Saving changes to an
existing script writes over the original script. To use a Symbol-supplied standard script as a base and save the
changes in a new script, use the Save As function.

Building the Image

Once the script is created, the hex image defined by the script can be built.
As part of the build, TCM performs a check on the script which verifies that all files referenced in the script
exist. This check is important for previously created scripts to ensure that files referenced in the script are still
in the designated locations.
To build scripts:
Click Build on the TCM toolbar. The Configure Build window appears.

Configure Build Window
Figure 9-6
Select the items (partitions) to build using the check box(es) to the left of each named partition.
2.
The Build Path defines where to store all built partitions.
3.
Select (hex image) COMPRESSION to reduce the size and speed up the download.
4.
Click OK and follow the on-screen instructions.
5.
If one of the partitions being built is the Splash Screen, a prompt appears requesting both the source
Bitmap file and the destination HEX file.
A check is performed and if there are no errors, the partition hex files are created.
6.
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
Properties on page 9-7 for more information about setting the image size appropriately.
