No bin File

Using Bascom AVR DEMO on Windows XP SP2. Yesterday I uninstalled 1.11.7.4 and installed 1.11.7.7

It appears to be working but when I try to program the AVR chip I get an error message saying that there is no bin file. [I have looked and there is no bin file.]

I am trying to figure out what I did wrong. I could not find any discussion of this problem, so it must be something about my computer.

Any suggestions? (...I mean constructive suggestions.)
Thanks-

Hi,

Check Options / Compiler / Output.

Binary File must be activated

Thanks for quick reply.

I had already checked the compiler options, and all file types in the first column are checked (that includes binary).

Note: The compiler is creating the following files:
.BM .CFG .DBG .OBJ .RPT .SIM

I welcome other suggestions.

Hi,

Maybe your program is to big.
The demo compiles maximum 4K programs.
When the compiled program is bigger than 4K the bin file is not generated, but instead you get a message.

Thank you very much. I think that was it.

Sometimes after the compile it would present and error message that only said "No file". It would have been a little more helpful if it had given a better explanation.

Again--thanks!
