Re: Producing TI text files

Check out this example Makefile

https://github.com/uctools/msp430-template/blob/master/Makefile

Using srec_cat to generate the txt file.  Specify -TITXT
After than run unix2dos on the output file to use the proper CR/LF stuff.

# TI TXT file
$(OUTDIR)/%.txt: $(OUTDIR)/%.hex
	$(MAKETXT) -O $@ -TITXT $< -I
	$(UNIX2DOS) $(OUTDIR)/$(TARGET).txt
