Important information

• Device selection
  You can select the device you are using, which means that the core, the default ddf file, and the flash loader (if available) are selected automatically. This is possible for all devices that are supported with header (.h) files and device definition (.ddf) files.

• Upgrade information

  • Before you install
    To avoid any problems, do not install the 6.x release in a directory where you have previously installed a 5.x, 4.x, 3.x or 2.x version of IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM.
    Either uninstall an earlier product, or install this release in a separate directory. However, as before, it is possible to install different products, all using version 6.x of the generic IDE component, in the same root directory.

  • Migrating your application
    If you are migrating from version 5.x, 4.x or 3.x to this version, we recommend that you read the ARM IAR Embedded Workbench Migration Guide.
    Additional general information can be found in the technical note 40394.
    Stacks are required to be aligned on 8-byte boundraries, additional information specific to stack alignment can be found in the technical note 96045.

  • New Freescale Kinetis part numbering scheme
    Version 6.30 implements the new Freescale Kinetis part numbering scheme. The following old device selections will be automatically converted to the new part numbering scheme:

    • K40Xxxx ⇒ MK40DX256Zxxx10
    • K53Xxxx ⇒ MK53DN512Zxxx10
    • K60Xxxx ⇒ MK60DN512Zxxx10
    Other devices must be manually converted.

• Using Cortex-R4 in big-endian mode
  When big-endian is selected for a Cortex-R4 core, the default big endian mode is BE32. The normal big endian mode for Cortex-R4 is BE8, so make sure that you select the correct mode for your target.

New features

• None.

Known Problems

• If the Memory window displays the middle of a selection that is larger than the Memory window and the formatting (1x, 2x ,4x) is changed, the Memory window scrolls to the bottom of the selection.
  [EW13204]

• IAR Embedded Workbench shortcut keys do not work in the Terminal I/O window.
  [EW14290]

• The Build message window might fail to scroll to the bottom when you build a project. This occurs for certain combinations of message line length and window width if a line must be wrapped. A simple workaround is to make the width of the IDE window larger or smaller.
  [EW15473]

• There is no vertical scroll bar in the left window when you split an editor window vertically.
  [EW15588]

• If the compiler optimization option Instruction scheduling was specified, it is lost when you convert a project from version 3.xx to 4.xx.
  [EW15605]

• You cannot select the last line in a file just by clicking on the line number. This is possible for all other lines.
  [EW15705]

• The read/modify/write operation on some NXP LPC I/O registers defined in the iolpcxxxx.h files might cause reading and writing of undefined bits.
  [EW16180]

• The IAR Embedded Workbench IDE postbuild action freezes when trying to run a GUI-based application.
  A workaround is to prepend the postbuild command line with: cmd /c.
  [EW18171]

• A missing debug driver GUI DLL (WTD) might cause a warning dialog box to appear every time a project is opened.
  [EW18350]

• If the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE window is minimized during flash download, the sizes of the subwindows change and become very small.
  [EW18642]

• The MS definition in tms470r1b1m_bit_definitions.h, conflicts with the MS definition in iotms470r1b1m.h.
  [EW18691]

• Moving an undocked window to another screen on a dual monitor system causes resizing problems.
  [EW19039]

• The IDE fails to expand $TARGET_BNAME$ when using it in the call of an external tool and the output file doesn't exist.
  [EW21158, EW21197]

• Directing the output from the output converter to a file with extension .out causes EWARM to hang.
  [EW21166]

• The TDGC peripheral is missing from the header and ddf files for the Atmel AT91SAM9263.
  [EW21551]

• The EWARM may crash with a protection fault, or display an empty workspace window, if ClearCase 7.1 is installed on the same computer. Read more in technical note 63639.
  [EW21945]

• The example projects for TI RDK-IDM do not work on Rev C16 boards.
  [EW21960]

• ctrl-v and ctrl-c have problems when used with the Online Help system. As a workaround you can use Copy and Paste from the context menu.
  [EW22313]

• If Tools>Options>Project>Generate browse information is selected, then the EWARM will hang if no license is found, for example if no license dongle is inserted or if no license server is found.
  [EW22350]

• If output converter settings are changed in the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE, and the IDE is kept running, then an attempt to run IarBuild.exe will terminate silently with exit code 1.
  [EW22481]

• The context menu Go to definition might fail if the function is defined in a header file.
  [EW22518,EW22612]

• Sometimes the value of a float type placed in a packed struct is displayed incorrectly.
  [EW22529]

• A file corruption problem might cause dependency files (filename extension .dep) to describe some include files as files that generate output files (like, for example, .c and .cpp files). This will cause the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE to terminate unexpectedly when:
  - you perform a Find in Files search with the Project files and user include files option selected
  or
  - you choose the editor window context menu command Open file.h on an #include "file.h" line.
  [EW22792]

• Having a shift-left operator within a macro definition, as in:
  #define RUN_LED 1<<10
  can cause a number of functions following such a definition to be omitted from the editor Go to Function window.
  [EW22809]

• If the Linker configuration file editor fails to modify a linker configuration file because it is read-only, this is not reported.
  [EW22817]

• If you have a network license and updates IAR Embedded Workbench to version 6.21 or later, the license key must be re-entered in the installation wizard.
  [EW22831]

• If you have IAR Embedded Workbench IDE installed for several different tool chains in the same directory, the IDE might be in mixed languages if the tool chains are available in different languages.

• The Event log mechanism based on ITM is not supported when using the ST ST-LINK debug probe. Support will be added in the next update.

Running GUI-based programs from the project manager custom build rules
To run a GUI-based program from a custom build rule, the program must be wrapped with cmd /c, for example:
cmd /c prog.exe $PROJ_PATH$.

Adding the paths of project header files to the build
To activate this feature, add the special variable $PATHS_OF_PROJECT_HEADER_FILES$ on the Extra options page in the C/C++ compiler category of the Project Options dialog. The result is that the directory path of each member header file in the project is added to the command line using the -I command line option. For example, if the project contains the header files C:/a/fa.h and C:/b/fb.h, the compiler command line will get the additional arguments -IC:/a/ and -IC:/b/.

New features

• Power debugging
  Power debugging is a methodology that provides software developers with information about how the software implementation in an embedded system affects system level power consumption. By coupling source code to power consumption, testing and tuning for power optimization is enabled. The debug probe samples the momentary current drawn by the system and feeds it to the debugger where the measured current is synchronized with time stamped program counter values. This allows the debugger to present power consumption directly correlated to the source code. The debugger supports power data from the following sources:

  • J-Link Ultra
    Power data is measured with high accuracy at the board level. A future adapter will be available in Q2 2011 to measure power at the MCU level. Supports calibration.
  • J-Link
    Power data is measured with low accuracy at the board level. Does not support calibration.
  • The Energy Micro EFM32 Gecko development and starter kits
    They have a J-Link compatible debug probe integrated on-board. Power data is measured with high accuracy at the MCU level. Does not need calibration.
  Power data can be visualized as a power log, a graph on a time scale, or in the function profiler as energy consumption.
  More information can be found in IAR Embedded Workbench® C-SPY Debugging Guide

  The C-SPY debugger and J-Link supports debugging of multiple ARM cores with multiple instances of the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE. There can be multiple cores on the same JTAG scan chain, multiple J-Links on the same host computer, or a combination of the two.

• Stack window
  To monitor the memory consumption and integrity of the stack, a new Stack window has been added. It shows the stack contents as raw data, C/C++ variables, and function frames. It also shows current and maximum stack consumption graphically. Warnings can be issued when the stack exceeds a certain level or if the stack pointer points outside the stack memory.

• New breakpoint category - Log breakpoint
  Log breakpoints make it easy to log messages whenever execution passes a certain code location without having to add any code to the target application. When a log breakpoint is triggered, it writes to the Debug Log window and then the application continues execution.

• New way to toggle breakpoints
  You can now set or clear a breakpoint by double-clicking in the left margin of the editor window; the breakpoint location is marked by a red X. If there is more than one possible breakpoint location in the source line, the breakpoint is placed on the first location.

  Chip config file $TOOLKIT_DIR$\config\chip\ not found.
  [EW16922]

New features

• ARM11
  Support for code generation and debugging for ARM11 cores. With this new addition, EWARM supports the ARM families ARM7, ARM9, ARM9E, ARM10 and ARM11 (ARM instruction set v4, v5 and v6). The Intel XScale architecture (excluding co-processors) is also supported.

• Speed optimizations
  The compiler speed optimizations have been improved. In addition, the floating point library have been rewritten and is about twice as fast as the previous version.

• Multi-file compilation
  Several source files can be combined and compiled at the same time by the compiler. This allows the optimizer to operate on a larger set of code and can result in smaller code.

• OSEK Run Time Interface (ORTI) support
