Highlights

• DSP library for Cortex-M3/M4
  The ARM CMSIS DSP library is now supported and delivered with the product. The library comes with a powerful collection of DSP functionality; FIR/IIR filters, FFT, DCT, Clarke and Park transforms, PID controller and much more. See the CMSIS DSP Software Library documentation for more information.
  The CMSIS support is enabled from Project>Options...>General Options>Library Configuration, CMSIS include paths and the DSP library will automatically be included when enabled.

• Cortex-A8
  Support for code generation for and debugging of ARM Cortex-A8 cores.

• Cortex-A9
  Support for code generation for and debugging of ARM Cortex-A9 cores.

• Subversion
  The version control integration has been extended with support for Subversion (SVN).

• Power debugging enhancements
  

  • The J-Link Ultra now supports sampling rates up to 10 kHz.
  • Power data can be filtered based on a threshold value.
  • Execution can be stopped based on a threshold value (power breakpoint).
  • Power samples can be logged to a file, either the collected data up to that point or live acquisition.

• Automatic selection of printf/scanf formatter
  The compiler/linker will parse the printf/scanf format specifiers and select the smallest possible formatter from the library.

• Virtual Function Elimination (VFE)
  The compiler/linker will optimize C++ applications and remove unused virtual functions.

• RTOS context sensitive help
  Context-sensitive help is available for some RTOS'es, and gives easy access to descriptions of API functions.

• Flash loaders
  Flash loaders for the following devices are included in the product installation:

  • Actel
    A2F200M3F, A2F500M3FG, CoreMP7

Important information

Migration

• The debugger flash loader mechanism was changed in version 5.40. If your project uses a default flash loader with no extra parameters, no migration work is needed.
  If the debugger detects that your project uses a non-default flash loader or that it uses extra parameters, it will revert to the default flash loader for your device. In addition a .board file will be created in the project directory. If necessary the .board file can be edited and used by manually overriding the default flash loader with this project-specific .board file.

• If you are migrating from version 4.x to this version, we recommend that you read the ARM IAR Embedded Workbench Migration Guide.

Object format

The compiler, assembler, linker and debugger object format is based on the ARM ABI ELF/Dwarf standard version 2.08. For the standard definition, see the ARM Application Binary Interface.

Windows Vista and Windows7

Windows Vista has a new security mechanism called UAC (User Access Control). Disabling UAC will make Vista work more like XP, but this is not recommended because it will reduce the security of the computer.
It is not necessary for IAR Embedded Workbench IDE to be run as administrator. The only caveat is that modifications to the installed product tree in C:\Program Files\IAR Systems might not work as intended and give unexpected results.
One example is opening and building projects directly from the installed product tree. The build will succeed, but the resulting files (object, list, ...) will not appear where expected. Instead all output files will be redirected by Vista to C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\IAR Systems.
To avoid this, the preferred way is to copy examples outside Program Files, either manually or automatically by using the Information Center to browse to the example.
