Generating a bin file instead of a hex file when using the online compiler

Online compiler
1

The current application I have built use the NRF52840 DK platform and currently when I build this project via the online compiler it generates an hex file. I was wondering if its possible to generate a bin file as I have built a bootloader and i need to be able to flash the bin file and not the hex file.

Thanks,
Yogesh

The online compiler currently returns the default board file either .hex or .bin

You can use Hexplorer to export the file in a different format:

open the .hex file and simply export as a .bin file.

Thanks Paul, I was hoping that I could change it via the mbed_app.json file, the kind if binary o/p i would like the compiler to generate. Thanks for your inputs, I will try the Hexplorer out and see if it does generate it the o/p that works for me?

Thanks,
