Highlights
Cortex-R4F
Support for code generation and debugging of ARM Cortex-R4F cores with VFP unit.Cortex-M0 speed optimizations
Cortex-M0 code generation have been tuned to generate code with faster execution speed.Trace start and stop triggers
The instruction trace can be started and stopped based on conditions like code locations and data accesses. This feature is now available for the J-Trace for ARM trace probe, in addition to the J-Trace for Cortex-M3 trace probe.SWO support in J-Trace for Cortex-M3
The J-Trace for Cortex-M3 trace probe now supports SWO trace. The firmware will be automatically upgraded by the debugger.Enhanced Find in files
Regular expressions can now be used in the Find in files search field.Flash loaders
Flash loaders for the following devices are included in the product installation:- Actel CoreMP7

Example projects
Over 1700 example projects for various evaluation boards, including evaluation boards from IAR Systems, Actel, Analog Devices, Aiji Systems, ARM, Atmel, Cirrus Logic, EnergyMicro, Freescale, Keil, LogicPD, Micronas, Nohau, OKI, Olimex, Pasat, NXP, Phytec, ST, Texas Instruments and Toshiba are included in the product installation, see the Information Center, or arm\examples directory.
Important information
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.
Migration
Object format
The compiler, assembler, linker and debugger object format is based on the ARM ABI ELF/Dwarf standard version 2.06B. For the standard definition, see the ARM Application Binary Interface.
Windows Vista
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.
