IAR Embedded Workbench is available for a vast range of processors and controllers which includes ARM and AVR as well. I would suggest readers to subscribe to the code size limited version with no time limit, wherein the code size is limited to 4 KB of C code, which is more than enough for our learning process. While one is a time limited version which stays for 30 days (after which you’ll need to pay to use it), the other one is code size limited but with no time limit. I mentioned earlier that EW430 software comes for free in two versions. Going about your First Project – Hello World! (Stepwise – 10 steps).To add to these, you will also learn how to debug your code using the simulator and FET (flash emulation tool) debugger. IAR Embedded Workbench for TI MSP430, also called EW430 is a complete software toolkit you will need to compile, build, link and download the code into your controller. Here, I have used the MSP430G2 LaunchPad plugged with 14-pin MSP430G2131 DIP controller. Let’s get our hands dirty now. Let’s get our hands on real time testing of our code on a controller. We also wrote a simple program to assign a port as output or input followed by lighting LEDs when a switch is closed. We also discussed about input-output operations, and some basic aspects of C programming. Hello folks, I am back with my next tutorial on getting started with IAR Embedded Workbench for TI MSP430 about which I mentioned in the introductory tutorial on MSP430.
