No longer is it necessary to connect the 3D Printer to a PC over USB cable. Move back to the root directory of our ‘Marlin-2.0.x’ folder and open a new command prompt using ‘cmd’.
If found, the struct is parsed and an Xml config file will be generated. If this option is omitted, the format is determined from the first file on the command line. Display the syntax for invoking the utility and list available options.
The linker script of the compiler will reserve Stack and Heap memory accordingly configured and there will be a stack_pointer symbol on your .map file letting you know where it points to. The hex conversion utility provides several options to specify the load image and its format. These options are described in The Load Image Format (–load_image Option) and its subsections.
