Introduction
IAR Embedded Workbench IDE for Arm (IAR EWARM, mentioned as IAR below) is an integrated development environment (IDE) built by IAR Systems, supporting 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit microprocessors and microcontrollers, and providing more user-friendly experience among ARM IDEs. IAR features:
- Highly optimized C/C++ Compiler
- IAR XLINK Linker supporting common applications
- Powerful support for project management
- C-SPY Debugger, a fully integrated debugger with performance analysis, power visualization, and RTOS plugins
This document serves as a roadmap for users building GR551x application development environment with IAR on Windows PCs, so as to create, compile, download, and debug Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) applications, with an example provided as reference.
