Important information

• Starting with version 7.40A of IAR Embedded Workbench for 8051, this driver was renamed to "Texas Instruments" in all IDE dialog boxes.

New features

• Support has been added for the CC2540 device family.

Known Problems

• EW18593
  It is not possible to set breakpoints when using preprocessed C source code with #line statements unless you write the absolute path for the file e.g: #line 3 "c:\\path\\file.c"

• Known problems that are common for all drivers are listed here.

Program Corrections

• EW22134: An issue was corrected that would cause the debugging session to be terminated abnormally when inspecting the contents of the Radio registers using either the register window, or the memory window.

• EW22157: The default bank mask value was incorrectly specified as 0xFF instead of 0x07 for some cc25xx devices. This has been corrected.

User guide corrections

• None

Miscellaneous

• Nothing

Release history

V7.60.4, August 2010

EW21926: Support for handling --ks_version reenabled.

V7.60.1, June 2010

Support has been added for the CC25xx device family. The options dialog for this driver has also been modify to accomodate for the different mechanism used for protecting flash memory for these devices. Flash pages that are to be protected should be specifies as a string of decimal caracters, according to the example provided in the options dialog.

• An error was corrected that could cause a page being written to flash to partially overwrite a previously written page with garbage data.

7.21A, May 2007

• Flash protection (boot block, debug inteface and page) added.

• Retain memory pages added. Pages to be retined should be entered on the form 1,2,3,4....62,63. To retain IEEE address "IEEE" can be entered.

• Mapping SFRs and XDATA to CODE memory when using unified memory access could sometimes cause inadvertent reads of registers that use hardware clearing.

7.20H, Nov 2007

• Better support for the latest revision of CC2430.

• The driver has been updated in order to improve overall stability.

• The Chipcon driver dialog window has been updated with improved logic to handle checkbox options.

7.20D, May 2006

• A new menu option, Leave target running, has been added in the Chipcon debug menu. Selecting this option will leave the target system running when the debug session is closed.

• The FMAP register was erroneously overwritten when execution was stopped. This could cause problems if execution was stopped while running in an interrupt or library routine.

7.20C, January 2006

• Smaller update of the debuggers has been done for this release. Most updates have been done to improve the stability and speed of the various debuggers.
