Finding the right compiler to support your device is simple: MPLAB XC8 supports all 8-bit PIC ® and AVR ® microcontrollers (MCUs) MPLAB XC16 supports all 16-bit PIC MCUs and dsPIC ® Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs)This tutorial will show you how to use the IAR IDE with the STM32F429 and some of the cool features you can find in IAR. For detailed instructions on importing existing projects, follow our IAR project importing tutorial instead.Available as free, unrestricted-use downloads, our award-winning MPLAB ® XC C Compilers are comprehensive solutions for your project’s software development. We will create a basic project from scratch and will show how to configure various parameters of it. Official linker of GNU tools is tutorial shows how to configure VisualGDB to use the IAR ARM compiler instead of the GCC compiler.
Iar Compiler Install VisualGDB 5
On the next page select the IAR toolchain from the list. On the first page proceed with the default “Create a new project -> Embedded Binary -> MSBuild” option: VisualGDB can also create GNU Make-based projects using the IAR compiler, however we recommend using MSBuild due to better performance and deeper integration into Visual Studio. Specify the location and name for the created project: Start Visual Studio and open the VisualGDB Embedded Project Wizard: Before you begin, install VisualGDB 5.5 or later.
For IAR the following rules will be used: It contains the rules used by VisualGDB to locate the toolchains. If the IAR compiler is not found, locate and open the \Rules\KnownToolchains.xml file. Select your device and press “Next” to go to the next page of the wizard:
This will open the regular Visual Studio property page window for the project. Right-click on the project in Solution Explorer and select “Properties”. This will automatically navigate to the corresponding part of the build log, letting you see even more details: Right-click on any error and choose “Go to build log”. See how VisualGDB automatically extracts the ‘required from ’ line and displays it under the error text:
