Hi,
a .hex file contains only the values for different memories and will be used for programming of the device (e.g. via Memtool).
A .elf file contains, additional to the memory informations, debug and symbol informations which are very helpful for debugging in a debugger.

Is your code targeting RAM (0x50000000-0x700FFFFF), or flash (starting with 0x8 or 0xA)? If it's running from RAM, that would explain why the AURIX doesn't retain it through a power cycle 😉

Hi KDN.

Where is your application - in PFLASH, or in RAM? When you say the controller doesn't retain its code, what address are you looking at to know it's gone?

Do you have boot mode headers set up, so the AURIX firmware knows where to start your application?
