• The C-SPY OWL hardware debugger driver has been updated.

Important information

• If you are using the DLIB library, we recommend that you take a look at the library settings to see the new possibilities. Command line users also need to use new build options. For detailed information, read the MAXQ IAR Embedded Workbench Migration Guide.

• Source code that was originally written for version 1.x of the MAXQ IAR C Compiler, can, without any modifications, also be used with the compiler included in this package.
  All segment names previously named DATA_suffix have changed names to DATA16_suffix . This requires that the linker command is updated accordingly.

• Support for MAXQ10 cores was removed in version 2.30.

General information

• License management system
  A product installed with a QuickStart key will be usable for 30 days. During this period the product(s) must be registered with IAR in order to activate the license. After registration a permanent key will be sent to you which opens up the product(s) for which you have a valid license. The product will be locked to the computer on which it has been installed unless a License Server or dongle is used. A stand-alone license can be tranfered to a different PC by using the license transfer functionality. For more information, see Installation and license activation above.

• Tutorial workspace
  The tutorial workspace, that is included in the Embedded Workbench, assumes that debugger support is installed. If you choose to open the tutorial workspace, without having installed one or both of the debuggers, a message will inform you that an unknown tool is found. You will, however, be able to compile and link the tutorial projects.
