Hi guys
I want to know if i write a program and want to give a file to other user to load it into microcontroller, then which file i should give to him so that he have not the source code but only hex file ?

After compile the program following files appears in folder:
C source file (6KB)
C object file (28KB)
ERR File (1KB)
ESYM File (12KB)
C object file (3KB)
C Output file (20KB)
C Output file (2KB)
C Output file (3KB)
C Output file (2KB)

You have probably got your explorer set to not display extensions....
Right click on each of the ones described as 'C output file'. Select 'Properties'.
It'll then give the path and full filename actually involved.

You have no .LST file and no .HEX file. This means you have errors in
your program and it didn't do a successful build. Fix all the errors and
recompile. Then you will see the .HEX file.
