Command line for ICD interface - factory programming

[robleso7473]

Hello once again,

I thought my yearly CCS forum visit was satisfied last month but here I am again!

So, I am close to launching my first product and I'm still working out the factory testing details. One thing I've not settled on is how I will program my MCU. On the bench I just fire up CCS info compiler and run the ICD interface app to program my targets, BUT in the factory I want to integrate the programming operation into some python or even command line interface. The plan is to use the ICD-U64 as the programmer connected to my production target MCU.

The big question: can I run ICD Interface from within Python or command line?

Why I want to do it this way:
I want to simplify the interface for the factory worker where they don't have to crack open ICD Interface app separately and have them accidentally click on some button that will mess up the entire programming operation.

Any thoughts and/or ideas?

Thanks much,
O

Maybe I'm going to answer my own question but is ccsloader the command line version of the GUI ccsload? Was not easy to find this information if that's the case.

from their website...ccsload..
Command Line Options

OS Support - Powerful Controls through Windows or Linux
Operational Settings - Specified at the Execution Level
Easy Set-up - Perform Tasks like Save, Set Target VDD, and more...
Presets - Operational or Control Settings
Batch Files - Simplify Routine or Repetitive Programming

so you 'should' be able to .

In the MSDOS days, you'd create 'batch' file which had the executable file(exe) with options, make an icon, save on desktop. DBL click to run the program.

I'm a dinosaur but I suspect someone can show that this IS possible ?
