Embedded Compiler – IAR Workbench

IAR Embedded Workbench is a popular integrated development environment (IDE) for embedded systems development (compiler). It provides a complete set of development tools for building, debugging, and optimizing embedded applications for a wide range of microcontrollers.

Key features of IAR Embedded Workbench include:

  1. Compiler and Debugger: IAR Embedded Workbench comes with a highly optimizing C/C++ compiler and a powerful debugger that supports various debugging features such as breakpoints, watch windows, and real-time trace.
  2. Editor and Project Management: It offers a feature-rich code editor with syntax highlighting, code completion, and project management capabilities to organize your source files, libraries, and build configurations efficiently.
  3. RTOS Support: IAR Embedded Workbench provides support for various real-time operating systems (RTOS) commonly used in embedded applications, allowing developers to build and debug multitasking applications seamlessly.
  4. Peripheral Simulation: It includes built-in peripheral simulators for popular microcontrollers, enabling developers to simulate I/O operations and test their code without the need for physical hardware.
  5. Code Analysis and Optimization: The IDE offers advanced code analysis tools to identify potential issues, optimize code size and performance, and ensure code compliance with industry standards and best practices.
  6. Integration with Version Control Systems: It seamlessly integrates with version control systems such as Git and Subversion, allowing multiple developers to collaborate on projects and manage code revisions effectively.
  7. Support for Multiple Architectures: IAR Embedded Workbench supports a wide range of microcontroller architectures from leading semiconductor manufacturers, including ARM, AVR, MSP430, and more.

Overall, IAR Embedded Workbench provides a comprehensive development environment tailored for embedded systems developers, helping them streamline the development process, reduce time-to-market, and achieve high-quality, reliable embedded applications.

how to print to debugger console in IAR?

  • you have to do is to #include <stdio.h>  and use printf() in your code.

Steps to follow

  • Project options -> Linker -> Output (tab)
  • In the “Format” section where you have selected “Debug information for C-SPY” you need to have “With I/O emulation modules” checked (this requires “with run-time control modules”)
  • Printf results you can see in View -> Terminal I/O from the top menu.

Procedure

  • 1. Projcet -> Create a new project -> Toolchain -> STM Series Praject Template -> Empty Projcet
    (then click “Ok”).
  • Save Your Project (File -> Save worksapce)
  • Notes : The project will appear in the Workspace window.
  • By default, two build configurations are created—Debug and Release
  • Before you add any files to your project, you should save the workspace.
