Review on IAR Embedded Workbench by Scott Rodriguez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Debugger for development of Embedded Software in many types

It has all needed components to develop projects with C,C++ languages or other software environments where it can be used together like Keil MDK-ARM Linker (or another tool compatible), Xc8 IDE etc.. Easy debugging from within SWD/JTAG mode over USB using an ARM board as target platform! Some features are not yet supported by version 6 but will come shortly if necessary when released new versions!! For example there isn't support now nor future planned release date about "Debugging Assembler Source Code". The project architecture view doesn´t show very well how things fit into one assembly module without having too much information which might confuse you while writing code at first glance!. This could improve later releases maybe adding more tabs that would help us visualize this better so we don`t make mistakes during our next steps coding process because sometimes these details get.

Pros
  • It is very easy to use and to learn! It is very useful for debugging and development of ARM Cortex
  • It is a very complete software environment for ARM development
Cons
  • The project architecture view doesn't show very well how things fit into one assembly module without having too much information which might confuse
