IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM

EW for ARM

Integrated development environment

 

IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM is an integrated development environment for building and debugging embedded applications. It provides extensive support for a wide range of ARM devices, hardware debug systems and RTOSs and generates very compact and efficient code. Ready-made device configuration files, flash loaders and over 1000 example projects are included.

IAR Embedded Workbench is compatible with other ARM EABI compliant compilers and supports the following ARM cores:


  • ARM7 (ARM7TDMI, ARM7TDMI-S and ARM720T)

  • ARM9 (ARM9TDMI, ARM920T, ARM922T and ARM940T)

  • ARM9E (ARM926EJ-S, ARM946E-S and ARM966E-S)

  • ARM10E (ARM1020E and ARM1022E)

  • ARM11

  • SecurCore (SC100, SC110, SC200, SC210)

  • Cortex-M1

  • Cortex-M3

  • XScale

 

 

Highlights in  version 5.11

  • Cortex-M1support

  • ARM11 debug with IAR J-Link

  • Evaluation edition of IAR PowerPac included

  • Flash loaders and  I/O register definition files are added for many new devices.

  • Over 1000 example projects are included

Each RTOS plugin installs a number of new windows in C-SPY, most importantly the task or thread list windows where task-specific breakpoints can be specified and task-specific steps executed. Different inspector windows display the contents of the  internal data structures of the RTOS such as timers, queues, semaphores, resources and mailboxes.
