Highlights

• CMSIS DSP library (new in 6.10.5)
  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 (new in 6.10.2)
  Support for code generation for and debugging of ARM Cortex-A8 cores.

• 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

• C-SPY Debugging Guide introduced
  A new user guide called C-SPY Debugging Guide has been introduced. The purpose of this guide is to help you fully use the features in the IAR C-SPY Debugger for debugging your application.

• C99
  The product now uses the current C standard defined in 1999, known as C99, as the default C language.

• C++
  Support for the C++ language has been added. By default, it fully supports the ISO/IEC 14882:2003 C++ standard. The EC++ and EEC++ dialects are still available.

• Cortex-A5
  Support for code generation and debugging of ARM Cortex-A5 cores.

• RTOS integration
  Product information, evaluation versions, and example projects for third party RTOS and middleware solutions are now integrated into IAR Embedded Workbench for easy evaluation. RTOS and middleware information and example projects can be accesses via IAR Information Center.

• C library
  The DLIB library now has improved support for threaded environments.

• Floating point optimizations
  The compiler can now optimize floating-point expressions better by using the option --relaxed_fp. If enabled, the compiler tries to use a smaller floating-point type in floating-point expressions.

• CMSIS SVD
  The debugger supports the CMSIS System View Description files to display peripheral register content.

• P&E Micro JTAG probes
  The P&E Micro Multilink, Cyclone and OSJTAG are supported. Read about how to configure C-SPY to use a P&E Micro probe in Configuring the IAR Workbench Debugger to use a P&E Microcomputer Systems Interface.

• Freescale MQX plugin
  The Freescale MQX kernel awareness plugin is now included in the product.

• FreeRTOS/OPENRTOS plugin
  The FreeRTOS/OPENRTOS kernel awareness plugin is now included in the product.

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.
