istool: prevent importing executables

Post by sec105105 »

When importing using Istool, you work with an .isx file. That .isx file can contain source code and/or executable code. When importing, is it possible to import ONLY the source code? I see the [-nodesign] switch can prevent the source code from being imported, but is there a similar switch that would allow only the source code?

I believe that there is not option to import only the source code with the istool import command. However there is an option to only have the design time (source) objects included in the isx file if the isx file is created via the istool export. Basically if the option "-incexec" is not added, then executables won't be included and you could just go ahead and use the regular istool import to get what you want

Thanks.
I guess eliminating the -incexec from the export is the only way...
