#How cost iar arm install#

I was very happy with the experience and their paid support, and their tools were easy to install and everything worked cleanly from compiling to debugging. I used IAR at an employer who had money for expensive tools in those days.

#How cost iar arm free#

To compile and debug ARM programs in those days with free tools was a complete cluster fuck. If you go back 10+ years ago, then IAR was way easier to use than free shit in those days. BTW keil sucks too mostly for these reasons I expect a product that costs this much to at least spot this and throw some warnings. They had no clue where it was going wrong but it was something wrong with the default linker config from the silicon manufacturer. Also I had an issue recently where it wasn't initializing my globals to the correct values. Build errors are reported with vague amounts of detail.

#How cost iar arm code#

Code completion won't work, going to definitions of functions and variables works only if the IDE has been kept open for a long time. None of the features work or even if they do its only sometimes. A couple of emails later they will tell you that the development team is investigating this issue and you'll never hear from them again. They will mostly tell you that whatever went wrong with the product isn't supposed to happen. I can guarantee you that their support team although usually responds on time, their answers are pretty much useless. People will talk about the tech support and what not. I can't speak to IAR, but the GHS multi debugger was phenomenal at presenting the current state of the program to you.Р”Р„bsolutely not.

My experience with GCC (and Keil), is that in highly optimized code, local variables 'disappear' and cannot be evaluated because they only exist in registers and not in a memory location. While that is a nice-ish feature, it's much more important that the debugger be trustworthy in its information it presents to you. You don't have to use the IAR IDE except when you're debugging.Р”Р‡or debugging, the EmbSysRegView Eclipse plug-in is amazing - it uses the MCU's peripheral register addresses so you can look up any of your peripheral's settings via register name instead of having to look up the register offset from the data sheet and then finding the base address and then using the raw memory viewer to find the value. If IAR can do that, I couldn't figure out how. For example, Eclipse can do intelligent symbol (variable, function, #define, etc) renaming by analyzing scope. Beyond that, I prefer Eclipse's syntax highlighting, code completion, and general editing environment over IAR's. I think the biggest reason for me is that I'm much more familiar with Eclipse.
