Adding the Generated Files to PSoC Creator Example Project
To add the generated
HexImage.c and HexImage.h
files to the PSoC Creator example project provided with this
application note, follow the steps in this section. They are required if you need to program a hex file into a

B_Hssp_Pioneer for PSoC 4 HSSP.
1.
Select the Target File Folder location in the GUI, as shown in
. This is the folder in which the
main.c
file of the project is located.
2.
After the
HexImage.c
and
HexImage.h
files have been generated in the previous location, add those files to
the project workspace in PSoC Creator by clicking
Add Existing Item
in Workspace Explorer, as
shows.
