I search on google but no relevent information. If anyone have worked to convert elf file into binary for ARMplz let me know.

You should use the objcopy tool to convert elf to hex. Try at first from the command line without Code::Blocks post-build step. If you know how to generate the hex file, you can bring it into the post-build steps.
The call should be something like:
--- Code: ---objcopy.exe -O ihex ElfFile.elf HexFile.hex
--- End code ---
If you get errors, please post the command you're executing and the error message.

Yeah... I am able to build up hex file successfully from .elf file. The corresponding build commands is here arm-eabi-objcopy.exe -O ihex elfFile.elf hexfile.hex
I am thinking, is there any way to create a binary file also? I tried to chenge ihex to ibin and .hex to .bin in above file but it didn't work.
Any idea?
anandamu16:
Updating.. yeah I checked.
To get a binary file as output, I need to use 'binary' instead of 'ihex'.
So now I can convert it into binary file also
Post build command is: arm-eabi-objcopy.exe -O binary elfFile.elf binFile.bin
May be anyone working with ARM Compiler can use these build commands directly.
Anyways thanks a lot for your help. :)

Is there any way to also get a .map file as output, Any post build step.?
I checked through binutils of GNU GCC Compiler for ARM document and there was no information on how to get a .map extension file as output
