This tech note
has been updated several times. The tech note was originally created 2010-05-18.
Background
Users have contacted the IAR Systems Support Department with questions about compatibility to Windows 7.
Known problems
The reported problems comes mainly from hardware drivers.
| • |
The
dongle drivers
and the
IAR License Manager
from older versions will not work correct on Windows 7.
|
| • |
Most hardware debuggers was not compatible with Windows 7 (especially the 64-bit variant) when the OS was released. This has improved over the time. IAR Systems release patches when updated hardware debugger drivers are available from the manufacturers.
|
Typical user questions are:
| • |
Will my version of IAR Embedded Workbench work with 'Windows 7'?
|
| • |
When will my product officially support 'Windows 7'?
|
| • |
Will my hardware debugger work in 'Windows 7'?
|
Comments
| • |
If the version in use supports Windows Vista, then we see few reasons for the product not to work with 'Windows 7'.
|
| • |
The most probable area for problems is in the use of hardware debugger probes, due to driver incompatibilities.
|
| • |
When using older versions (with no support for Windows Vista) we anticipate the GUI to work (at least when running in a 'compatible mode to older Windows versions').
|
| • |
The older the version the lesser chance that it will work in 'Windows 7'.
|
| • |
Official support in for 'Windows 7' will be added when feasible (look in the read-me-files of newer version for the details). Problems in all earlier versions might be possible for you to work around.

OSBDM -

Older Kinetis alpha boards must have their OSBDM firmware updated

Drivers in version 6.10 only recognize older firmware on a 32-bit install, not a 64-bit, ergo you must update the firmware with a 32-bit machine before you can get them to work on a 64-bit machine
