Does hcd file have different type?

Hi Sir,

When I use "demo.hello_sensor-CYW920706WCDEVAL DIRECT_LOAD=1 build" to generate hello_sensor-CYW920706WCDEVAL-rom-ram-Wiced-release.hcd

then use client control to download hcd to ram, hello_sensor can work and I can see the log from uart.

When I use another make :"demo.hello_sensor-CYW920706WCDEVAL download", besides hex file, I also can get "hello_sensor-CYW920706WCDEVAL-rom-ram-Wiced-release.hcd",

then I also use client control to download this hcd to ram, but hello_sensor can not work and I can't see any log from uart.

What is the hcd different between "DIRECT_LOAD=1" and "download"?

Can we use the hcd generated from "download" to download it to RAM?

If you build using DIRECT_LOAD=1, only a hcd file will be generated which will have addresses compatible to RAM (used for RAM download).

During normal download process, hcd file will have flash addresses which cannot be used for RAM download. Also, for flash download .hex file is used, not .hcd.
