Batch code generation

The software can generate firmware files in batches from a template, incrementing the serial number and saving each result to a file. To generate firmware with increasing serial numbers, enter placeholder characters in the template's Serial number field: %%%%.

During firmware generation, the %%%% characters are replaced with the corresponding numeric value.

  1. Load the firmware template into the editor.

  2. Enter placeholder characters in the Serial Number field as shown in the image.
