Hi,

I'm using Visual Studio 2022. Can anybody tell me in which folder I find the HEX files which are apparently created when uploading a sketch? Are this 'temp' files only?

Thanks

Is there any way to not add bootloader when generating .BIN file?

I can't find an option at the moment so the output all becomes test.ino.with_bootloader

And I only need test.ino.bin

Thanks.

Thanks for the logs sent via Email.

The log shows that a *.hex file is being generated, which is specified by the options in the board package and is not influenced by Visual Micro.

If you require the BIN File for programming, often either Bin or Hex can be used with the upload tools or a programmer.

One option is to add the below text item to a local boards.txt file in your project (vMicro > Add Code > Add Local Board.txt), which will run the command after the build to generate the BIN file as you need.
recipe.hooks.postbuild.0.pattern={compiler.path}{compiler.elf2hex.cmd} -I ihex "{build.path}/{build.project_name}.hex" -O binary "{build.path}/{build.project_name}.bin"
