IAR Information Center for Arm

Standard edition

The standard edition is a version of IAR Embedded Workbench with the following limitations:

• Limits Arm core support to 32-bit cores.

Extended edition

The extended edition comes with all features including 64-bit Arm core support.

Cortex-M edition

The Cortex-M edition is a version of IAR Embedded Workbench with the following limitations:

• Limits ARM core support to Cortex-M0/M0+, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4/M4F, Cortex-M7, Cortex-M23, Cortex-M33, Cortex-M55, Cortex-M85, and STAR.

Limited edition

The limited edition is a version of IAR Embedded Workbench without a debugger. Limitations:

• The IAR C-SPY debugger is not available.
• MISRA C is not available.

Kickstart edition

The Kickstart edition is a special starter-kit/evaluation version of IAR Embedded Workbench with limitations both in code size and in the service and support that is provided. Limitations:

• The code limit of the compiler is set to 32 Kbytes, excluding constant data.
• The runtime library source code is not available.
• The linker will link the number of bytes up to the preset code size limit for the compiler, originating from C/C++ and assembler source code, excluding constant data.
• The debugger will load up to the preset code size limit, excluding constant data.
• The object files generated by the compiler are in an encrypted form and will only be readable by the IAR ILINK linker. The linker will also read AEABI compliant ELF/DWARF code for linking of legacy and third party code.
• Compiler assembly list output is disabled.
• C-RUN is not available.
• MISRA C is not available.
• Power debugging is not available.

If you have a Kickstart license issued before April 21 2017, your code limit will be 16 Kbytes for Cortex-M0/M0+/M23. Register for a new Kickstart license in the license manager to upgrade to 32 Kbytes.

Evaluation edition

The Evaluation edition is a time-limited evaluation version that you can use for 14 days. Limitations:

• Expires 14 days after generation of the evaluation key.
• MISRA C is not available.
• The runtime library source code is not available.
• The object files generated by the compiler are in an encrypted form and will only be readable by the IAR ILINK linker. The linker will also read AEABI compliant ELF/DWARF code for linking of legacy and third party code.
• Compiler assembly list output is disabled.
• C-RUN is size-limited to 12 Kbytes of code, excluding constant data.
