I cannot find the script generate_OoB_hexfiles.bat refereed at the STM32F7508-DK demonstration library. On the other hand, This script is only used for concatenate hex images to an only one hex image, and I want to know more about this process. Please, could somebody help me with this topic by providing literature about that?

Thanks in advance.

    The latest versions of the firmware library no longer contain the batch file, but you can still find it in STM32CubeF7 version 1.14 (Get Software > Select Version) in folder

    Projects\STM32F7508-DISCO\Demonstrations\Binary

    You can find a description of the freeware tool SRecord on its website, especially srec_cat.

    Good luck!

    Hello @Peter BENSCH​ 

    Thank you so much for your quick response. It is just what I was looking for, but I guess that you are referring to the version STM32CubeF7 1.14.0 (available on your link)

    The question regards with the current documentation for the latest version, where it is specified the srec_cat and the aforementioned .bat file. There is no further documentation provided regarding with how to concatenate the images for the three the Loading Screen and the two examples for the STM32F7508 discovery board.

    With your information, I think i will be able to generate the image as I want.

    Kindest regards,

    Víctor.
