Using build events to set register values in ESME HVAC

[obscuresc]

Hi,

In the Programming tab -> Project -> Options -> Build events, there are options for running commands.

I'd like to add script to set some register values after the build, such as the date/time of compilation, or the current git branch I am working on.

How would I go about this? Is it possible that I can set both the value in register to be downloaded, as well as the default value in the source files?

Thanks.

Hi,

not sure it is feasible in this way, another idea could be .bat file which will create a file with all the information you need to be saved in the ExtraNOR0 folder.

It will be automatically downloaded in case of Download All and you can create a program in your project which reads this information and show them into a status variable or EEprom parameter.

Clearly this is a solution just for TM172P

I was able to do this. I did have encounter some odd behaviour such as if a file of the same name was already in NOR, then it wouldn't copy. I ended up adding the /EXTRAFOLDER:Extra to force it to the file that I generated, for the CLI download. I haven't vetted the USB loading method but I assume that works the same in putting into NOR. Though it seems I'd have to manually add the custom file to the collection of USB files.

Also I was unaware of the pathing of 'sys_FM_READ'; given I was storing in NOR, I needed 'nor:0:/' prefixed.
